Dear Friends,
Across Greater Sydney, more than 26,500 people every day receive fresh, rescued bread through Gift of Bread. For many, it is a simple but vital source of nourishment, stability, and dignity.
This work is only possible because our vans are on the road every day, collecting surplus bread from bakeries and delivering it to charities and community organisations across our city.
But right now, that essential work is under serious pressure.
Rising fuel prices are placing real strain on our ability to keep collecting and delivering bread across Greater Sydney. With diesel now between $3.00 and $3.20 per litre, our transport costs have more than doubled in recent weeks.
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:
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:
HOW YOUR SUPPORT HELPS
☑️ $5 per week helps contribute to essential fuel costs
☑️ $10 per week helps keep daily delivery runs moving
☑️ $20 per week helps sustain multiple van routes
☑️ $50 per week helps cover ~13% of one van’s weekly fuel cost
Every contribution helps turn fuel into movement—and movement into vital meals.
👉 Give fuel today: www.givenow.com.au/givefuel
Thank you for standing with us as we continue this work. May God bless you for being a valued partner in our mission.
+ Peace,
