WHO ARE WE?

The Rev. Bill Crews Foundation is one of Sydney's largest frontline charities and has been operating for almost 40 years.

Our site in Ashfield houses the 'Loaves and Fishes Restaurant', which serves the disadvantaged with free meals, seven days each week. We have a small fleet of mobile food vans that serve meals at 12 locations across Sydney.
