Free Bread

Life gets heavy sometimes. Groceries stretch further than they should, bills creep up, and some weeks feel longer than others. If you’ve clicked through to this page, it probably means you’re looking for a small bit of support — something practical, something real, something that meets you right where you are.

You’re in the right place.

What We’re Offering

Every week, a small community crew in Hobart gathers surplus bread and baked goods from local bakers and delivers them straight to people who could use a hand. No cost. No catch. No paperwork. Just bread — fresh, simple, and shared with dignity.

It’s not charity in the old-fashioned sense. It’s neighbours looking out for neighbours. It’s the belief that everyone deserves good food, and that a warm loaf on the doorstep can make a day feel a little lighter.

Who It’s For

This service is for anyone in the Hobart area who needs it:

• People doing it tough right now
• Anyone living alone who might struggle to get out
• Families stretching their budget
• Residents in units and flats who often fall through the cracks
• People who prefer privacy and don’t want to explain their situation to anyone

If you need bread, you qualify. That’s it.

How It Works

It’s incredibly simple:

1. Request a delivery using the form or button below.
2. Tell us where you live — even just the suburb is okay to start.
3. A volunteer will get in touch to confirm a good delivery time.
4. We drop the bread off quietly and respectfully.
5. You enjoy it at your own pace.

If you’re a little anxious about reaching out, don’t worry. Many people are. We understand that taking the first step can feel awkward or exposing — but we’re kind, we don’t pry, and we’re here because people helped us once too.

Why We Do This

Hobart is full of good people who care. But many residents slip behind locked doors and heavy gatekeeping — forgotten, unrepresented, and unheard. Our goal is to reach the people no one sees, the ones who keep to themselves or feel overlooked.

You matter. Your wellbeing matters. And you deserve support without having to fight for it.

If You Need Bread, Just Ask

You don’t have to explain your situation.

You don’t have to justify anything.

You just need to click the button and say, “Yes, I’d like some bread.”

We’ll take it from there.
