Who Gives A Loaf? We Do! You Can Too...
That’s why Gift of Bread makes it easy to access quality surplus bread and baked goods, delivered right to your door.
The bread is free. You simply make a small monthly contribution towards delivery.
Every day, a quiet miracle unfolds across Sydney.
Thousands of loaves of perfectly good bread are rescued from going to waste. Our mission of sharing bread, stopping waste, and building community ensures this bread finds its way into the hands of people who need it most — families doing it tough, kids going to school without breakfast, and elderly neighbours struggling with the rising cost of living.
Through our network, we reach more than 26,500 people each day and you are a vital part of that story. We support hundreds of not-for-profit and charitable organisations like yours every day.
At Gift of Bread, our bread has always been free. That hasn’t changed and never will.

But getting that bread from the bakery to your door is no small feat. Fuel, tolls, vehicles, maintenance and reliable drivers all come at a real cost.
We are grateful for the generous support we have received through the NSW Community Building Partnership Program, which has helped us invest in the capital infrastructure needed to strengthen and grow our work. This support is invaluable, but capital funding does not cover the ongoing costs of rescuing and delivering bread every day.
To keep the bread free — and ensure we can continue rescuing and delivering it to organisations like yours — we ask for a small monthly contribution towards the cost of delivery.
We've made this simpler and more predictable. Instead of separate delivery fees and fuel levies, you now make one simple monthly contribution, based on the level of delivery service you receive.
We keep ordering simple. Just tell us what you need and how often:
Sliced Bread — regular or artisan
Buns & Rolls
Sweet & Savoury Pastries — when available
You can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly delivery, depending on your organisation's needs.
You don't need to specify individual brands or products. Our supply changes according to the surplus food available each day, and we'll provide the best selection we can.
We receive quality baked goods from reputable sources including Bakers Delight, Bread & Butter Project, Luxe Bakery, Coles, Woolworths, Brooklyn Boy Bagels, Grandma Moses, Epicurian Kitchen and many more.
Because the bread is rescued surplus food, the value of what you receive can be many times greater than your monthly contribution.
That means your organisation can put more food on the table, stretch its resources further and support more people — while helping us rescue perfectly good food from going to waste.
More bread. More savings. More impact. Less waste.
That's the Gift of Bread difference.
We understand that something as simple as bread can sometimes be mission critical. That's why we work hard to provide a reliable service and deliver your bread fresh, in good condition and with a smile.

Many "School Breakfast Clubs" provide students with a healthy breakfast to ensure they start their day focused and ready to learn.
In many schools, healthy wholesome bread is supplied by Gift of Bread from the many wonderful bakeries that donate their fresh surplus every day.
In a recent report, Foodbank estimates that 18% of children from food insecure homes go to school without eating breakfast.
Schools who run a breakfast club find there is less truancy, particularly among children who do not eat breakfast at home. Students are more likely to attend school without the need to roam the streets looking for food to steal.
No child in Australia should attend school feeling hungry. A slice of bread is a great way to bring students together for a nutritious breakfast or lunch.
The social interaction that takes place around preparing a piece of toast can have a positive impact on a child's wellbeing, enhance their participation in classroom activities and improve educational outcomes.
Gift of Bread can provide your school with enough bread to run a successful breakfast club for your students.

Do you need support? If you are experiencing a food shortage at the moment because of lack of money and other resources or know someone who may need assistance, there are many organisations that we support who can help you.
Food insecurity may be long term or temporary and may be influenced by a number of factors including loss of income, employment status, disability or ethnicity. The risk for food insecurity increases when money to buy food is limited or not available and this can have a negative impact on a household’s food supply.
The reduced frequency, quality, variety, and quantity of consumed foods may have a negative effect on a person's physical and mental health In particular, children who lack good nutrition face a higher risk of developmental problems.
You may be facing an unforeseen or life changing event such as illness, unemployment or family violence. If you are hungry you may experience discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain caused by prolonged, involuntary lack of food.
The good news is there are many simple ways to overcome this situation. Many of the organisations where we distribute bread have food assistance programs that will be able to help you. Click here to find a local food bank or food pantry near you.
