What this is
This is a small, steady project that moves basic white bread and rolls into homes that need them. It’s not fancy bread. It’s the bread most people recognise, trust, and will actually eat.
It goes quietly—house to house, hand to hand, sometimes through other groups who help get it where it needs to go.
How it started
It began when a local supplier started giving bread freely. At first, it moved slowly—just a few pickups, a few households, a few awkward handovers.
But it kept happening.
And because it kept happening, people began to rely on it.
What’s happening now
Right now, the project is growing again.
More people are asking.
More households are struggling quietly.
More helpers are offering to move bread with us.
We’re learning how to make it steady—so it doesn’t depend on one person, one car, or one good week.
What it gives
It gives something simple:
Food that doesn’t need explaining.
No forms.
No interviews.
No proving you’re “in need enough.”
Just bread, given with respect.
What’s needed next
We need:
- People who can help collect or deliver
- Storage that’s dry and reliable
- Ongoing bread supply
- People willing to notice who might need it
This project only works when it moves through many hands.
Where it’s heading
If it keeps growing, it becomes less like a project and more like a quiet system—one that just keeps feeding people without fuss.
That’s the hope:
That one day, this won’t feel special at all.
