Brumby's to hold bread drive
In partnership with St Vincent de Paul's.
Brumby's Bakery partners with St. Vincent de Paul to hold a bread drive that will be the largest one the brand has ever undertaken. The chain now offers customers across the country to gift two freshly baked of bread to the donation bank for distribution by St. Vincent de Paul for the price of three dollars at any store location.
Brumby's Bakery General Manager Shonnea Nicol said the bakery group was hoping to donate thousands of loaves of bread to those in need.
“For just three dollars customers can ‘bank’ two loaves of freshly baked bread, usually valued at $8.00, for an Australian family who might not have a lot to look forward to this Christmas,” she said.
“Come late December, our bakers will add up the total number of loaves in our bread bank, resulting in what we are hoping will be thousands of loaves for St Vincent de Paul.
“A mixture of gift vouchers and freshly baked loaves will then be used in Vinnies Christmas hampers and food drives throughout Aussie communities.”
St Vincent de Paul State President John Forrest was pleased that the partnership with Brumby’s Bakery who has a strong commitment to helping people need during the Christmas break.
“The rising costs of living makes it hard for families, singles and pensioners to make the budget stretch to cover rent, utilities, food, transport and even prescriptions,” said Forrest.
“The generous donations mean that many people will receive a special and often unexpected gift these holidays.
“We would like to thank everyone at Brumby’s Bakery and the generous donors who will spare their extra change to support a person in need in their community.”
