Who Gives A Loaf? We Do! You Can Too...
Every day, our vans rescue surplus bread and deliver it to charities and community organisations. But keeping them on the road now depends on something very simple—fuel.
Unlike many of the broader challenges we face such as inflation, rising expenses, and operational costs, this issue is immediate and practical:
If the vans don’t have fuel, they don’t move.
If they don’t move, the bread doesn’t reach people.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
To keep our vans on the road, we need reliable fuel funding we can plan around — not just one-off donations, but steady support we can depend on. That’s why we are inviting you to become a Fuel Our Mission partner with a small weekly or monthly gift.
Ongoing support allows us to:
Plan and commit to weekly collection routes
Keep vans operating consistently across Sydney
Ensure rescued bread continues reaching people every day
At Gift of Bread, we respond with compassion and practical action — every single day.
Our dedicated volunteers collect fresh surplus bread from local bakeries and deliver it to those in need. We’re a grassroots charity run entirely by volunteers, ordinary people doing something extraordinary by sharing bread.
Every day, our bread reaches 26,500 people. We support the forgotten, the isolated, the vulnerable, the depressed , those who might otherwise go unseen.
WHY WE NEED YOUR HELP
Gift of Bread operates on a tight, efficient budget. But even with passionate volunteers and community support, the scale of need is now overwhelming our resources. In the past 12 months:
Demand for our services has grown dramatically
Costs for vehicle leases, registration, insurance, maintenance, fuel, and utilities have surged
We urgently need to raise $100,000 to continue our work through winter and into the next financial year.
