We are now no longer accepting bread tags - a huge thank you to everyone who has helped collect more than 18 tonnes of tags over the last eight years!
But this is not quite the end .... we will be continuing to send our stock of tags for recycling and to provide wheelchairs with our remaining funds, so keep following us for those updates.
If you want to continue recycling your plastic bread tags, these are some options we are aware of - please contact them directly for more info:
- Lids4Kids Australia : https://www.lids4kids.org.au/collections/recycling-services;
- Banish : https://banish.com.au/pages/recycling-program (they are also selling remaining stocks of the bread tag products);
- Aussie Bread Tags Western Australia.
Thanks again for an amazing effort from Aussie collectors!

As we hear of the devastating floods in Nepal, we pause in sorrow and solidarity with all those affected. In the face of lives lost, families separated and communities facing profound uncertainty, we turn to God in prayer. We pray for those who grieve, those still waiting for news, and all who are working to bring rescue, care and hope.

God of compassion and mercy,

We hold before you the people of Nepal following the devastating flash floods in the Bhote Koshi River area.

We grieve with those who have lost loved ones. We pray for the many who are still missing, local people and visitors alike, for families waiting anxiously for news, for those who have been injured or displaced, and for communities facing such immense loss.

Draw near, O God.

Where there is grief, bring comfort.
Where there is fear, bring courage.
Where there is exhaustion, bring strength.
And in these difficult hours of searching and waiting, sustain hope.

We pray for all involved in search and rescue, evacuation, medical care and relief. Protect and strengthen them. Give wisdom to those coordinating the response, and may help reach those who need it most.

Jesus Christ, you entered into the suffering of our world and showed us a love that draws near. Draw near now to the people of Nepal in their suffering.

By your Spirit, weave together communities of care and compassion. Strengthen neighbours supporting one another, families holding one another close, and all who are offering shelter, comfort and hope.

God of life, we entrust to your mercy all who have died. Hold those who mourn. Be near to those still waiting for news. Strengthen all whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by this disaster, and sustain them through the long journey of recovery.

Hold the people of Nepal in your love —
the love of the crucified and risen Christ,
a love that crosses every boundary,
a love that will not let us go.

Amen.

Final two weeks to post your plastic tags to us at P.O. Box 1164, Kensington Gardens, SA 5068. Please get them in the post by 31 August.
We are receiving large quantities at the moment. Our dedicated post lady, Maureen, collects and opens all the parcels from the post office. She then removes all the cardboard tags and bags the plastic ones up. Fortunately Maureen lives next door to Bread Tag HQ (Jenny's place), so we have an easy way of bringing them home!

Just a reminder that we are no longer accepting tags at collection points.
You can still post tags to us for a little longer - please send to PO Box 1164, Kensington Gardens, SA 5068 by end August 2026.
