Production Potential
in loaves per year
The model, partners, and production capacity already exist. Funding turns that capacity into fresh bread for communities. Full activation of all Satellite Bakery Partners requires $466,680.00.
better food access
starts with better food
Food insecurity is not only a lack of calories. It affects health, stability, family stress, learning, work, and community resilience. Tomorrow’s Bread helps improve the quality of charitable food by making fresh whole grain bread available through the community organizations people already trust.
By contracting local bakeries and sourcing regional organic (or organic-in-practice) grain, the Satellite Bakery Program supports food access, service-industry jobs, regional grain markets, and climate-smart crop systems.
