Surplus Bread Free Of Charge To Front Line Charities
Gift of Bread provides surplus bread free of charge to front line charities who are feeding vulnerable Australians.
Ranging from large service providers like St Vincent de Paul and the Australian Red Cross to smaller community-based groups like First Nations Response or the Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre, these charities then use our bread in their food programs to connect with people who may be experiencing food insecurity and financial difficulties.
More than 80% of the fresh bread we rescue is delivered immediately to these organisations and institutions that care about the welfare of our community. The other 20% is used to make crispbread, puddings, sweet and savoury baked products that we pack in our SnackBags for delivery to them at a later time.
What we can't use we also share with Aussie farmers and food producers who use the older bread as animal feed, because we feel it's also important to support our own Australian primary industries in times of hardship.
Nothing is wasted and everyone benefits.
Sharing Bread, Sustainably
The social impact of sharing bread transcends basic needs like hunger and helps us build bonds that enrich the meaning of our lives. Our clients are our friends and the people they support come from all walks of life. We are all companions on a journey that connects with over 26,500 people every day.
Our bread is a gift and is always free to share with people in need.For organisations receiving regular deliveries, a fixed monthly Delivery Plan helps contribute to the costs of collecting and delivering bread across our community. Your plan is based on the usual frequency and volume of your scheduled deliveries, rather than occasional changes from week to week.This helps keep our vans on the road and ensures surplus bread can continue reaching the people and communities who need it most.At Our Door collection is available free of charge from Gift of Bread Outreach Centres, subject to availability.
