OUR Work / Bread Run

rescued bread, 

renewed hope.

Every day in Singapore, perfectly good bread is thrown away. Through the Bread Run programme, our volunteers collect and share surplus bread with families, children, and seniors who need it most, turning what would be waste into nourishment and care.

In 2025 alone, we rescued and redistributed 199,000kg worth of bread, reaching children, lower-income families, and the elderly.

When you give your time,
you give more than food. 

You give hope, dignity, and care. Volunteers are at the heart of our operations, from rescuing surplus bread to packing food for families and seniors.

highlights of Bread Run

Throughout my time volunteering with Food from the Heart, the passion and support from the team has continued to be remarkable. Orientation and volunteer engagement sessions have been run well. Being part of an organisation that does so much good in the community brings great personal satisfaction, and seeing how well it looks out for volunteers as well as beneficiaries has made me committed to continue volunteering for far longer than I ever expected.
