Up to 20% of kids go to school without breakfast. This can cause a lack of energy and motivation that impacts on their ability to participate in learning.

BREAD4KIDS - Powering Learning is an initiative of Gift of Bread in partnership with schools. We provide schools with fresh nutritious bread donated by bakeries and supermarkets. Teachers and parents use this surplus bread to create tasty and healthy morning meals like sandwiches and toasties for students, so they are ready to learn.

As a BREAD4KIDS courier driver, you will collect fresh bread from our Tempe community workshop and deliver it to a small number of schools near each other. You will need to provide your own fully-insured vehicle. The position would suit retired teachers and school admin staff, trainee teachers, parents and grandparents.

Skills:

• Reliability, punctuality and good organisational skills

• Ability to use a street directory or GPS navigation

• Deliver bread in accordance with the school’s request

Benefits:

Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, raise your self-confidence, improve your social and work skills and achieve a natural sense of accomplishment.
