Our Vision
To enable the Church in Singapore to be a tangible expression of God's love to those in need.
Our Mission
Uplifting lives through the transparent provision of verified essential needs, bringing care, encouragement, and hope.
About Us
We believe every act of kindness reflects Christ's love and brings hope to those experiencing hardship. Bread Breakers (SG) 恩粮之家 (UEN T25SS0157E) is a non-profit society founded on our conviction to heed God's call to "remember the needy" and serve those in need.
The Landscape of Need
While various government grants and initiatives exist, requests for essential items such as diapers and household appliances persistently fall through the cracks of established support structures.
Needs are often urgent, specific, and deeply personal. Yet connecting them to the right resources is frequently hindered by logistical and administrative complexity.
Our Faith-Driven Mandate
Jesus championed the poor and marginalized throughout His ministry. We believe that serving "the least of these brothers and sisters" is a sacred act, not an optional add-on to faith.
We aim to provide a clear, trustworthy channel for individuals and communities to translate faith into action. We bridge the gap between good intentions and real impact, serving as hands and feet that deliver practical help where it is most needed.
The Meaning Behind Our Name
Sharing & Provision
"Breaking bread" is a universal symbol of sharing. It reflects our mission to provide essentials for those in need, ensuring no one is left without their daily bread.
Our Guiding Principles
Everything we do is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, who exemplifies love in action. Serving the poor and marginalized is not just charity, it is a spiritual calling to live out our faith through practical compassion, not a mission statement we simply publish. This principle shapes our work, drives our mission, and centers the dignity of every individual we serve.
How We Think About Stewardship
We believe good stewardship shouldn't depend on good intentions after the money has already been collected. So instead of writing policies that ask people to do the right thing, we tried to design a workflow where the right thing is simply the default outcome.
A few examples of what that looks like in practice:
- We don't ask social workers to post on yet another platform. Most already raise needs through their own channels. We bring the verified ones onto Bread Breakers so volunteers can respond, instead of adding to their workload.
- Volunteers are reimbursed for what they actually spent, not a budgeted estimate, subject to the availability of funds. What's raised is what gets spent, receipt for receipt.
- Donations stop the moment our targets are met. We'd rather leave a little on the table than sit on a pool of undirected surplus.
- Transparency isn't a report we compile. It's what the process produces on its own. A reimbursement needs a receipt. A fulfilled request needs proof of delivery. Those records exist because the workflow requires them.
None of this makes our approach better than other ways of doing this work. Pooling donations and estimating costs are both legitimate models, each with its own trade-offs. We chose this approach because we're a 100% volunteer-run team with no full-time staff, and it allows us to operate sustainably and honestly over the long term.
Our Team
We are 100% volunteer-powered, driven by a sincere desire to serve. Our focus is always on meeting verified needs with dignity and compassion.
Honouring Our Supporters!
But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does, so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
Volunteers
Who give their time without asking for anything in return.
Donors
Whose generosity, big or small, plants seeds of hope.
Your quiet efforts behind the scenes, time, and commitment form the backbone of the mission.
For this, we are deeply and sincerely grateful.
