Delivering
Food & Hope

Tasmanian to the core, dedicated to fighting hunger and strengthening food systems, providing  jobs and ensuring every Tasmanian can easily access, cook and eat a nutritious meal every single day.

Food

Nutritious, local, and shared with dignity. We recover and prepare thousands of fresh meals each week—supporting families, schools, and communities across Tasmania.

Community

We work alongside over 250 local partners—churches, schools, and neighbourhood groups—to build trust, strengthen connection, and deliver care where it’s needed most.

Jobs

We create real training and employment pathways—empowering Tasmanians with purpose, skills, and opportunities for a better future.

Social Enterprises

We produce food for-profit to fund our emergency food relief work.

Local Food. Local People. Shared Strength.

Right now in Tasmania, too many people don’t know where their next meal is coming from. Families are doing it tough. Some kids are going to school hungry.

At Loaves and Fishes, we believe Tasmanians deserve better. That’s why we’re working toward a future where everyone has access to fresh, nutritious food—while also creating jobs and strengthening local communities.

We’re not just handing out meals—we’re changing how food works across Tasmania. That means making sure good local food doesn’t go to waste, helping it reach the people who need it, and creating real training and job opportunities along the way.

We use a mix of rescued and locally purchased food to make every meal count. From farmgate to kitchen, we work with growers, volunteers, trainees, and community partners to get good food where it’s needed most.

This isn’t just about food—it’s about dignity, connection, and opportunity.

Together, we can grow something stronger.
