Tag: Gift of Bread

Marcel de Maria, the Catholic co-founder of the Gift of Bread charity, has launched a spin-off social enterprise selling coffee online which is aimed at assuaging its costs while giving vulnerable people a step up into full employment.

The Gift of Bread charity closed out 2023 with the blessing of two new vans for its impressively productive food run operations.

Sixteen years ago Marcel De Maria heard a call to “Go out and give bread.” Together with his old school friends Nick Tropea and Valerian Rego, they founded a charity that with the help of Catholic parishes and schools gives more than 10,000 people doing it tough their daily bread.
