The Earth Village Community Ltd
The Earth Village Community Ltd is an Australian nonprofit organisation and registered Public Benevolent Institution operating in Melton, Victoria. Established as a charity, it provides support to individuals experiencing disadvantage and social exclusion, with a focus on food security and community support services[1][3].

Services and programs
The organisation operates BREADLAND, a food assistance program offering daily distributions of bread, rolls, and other baked goods alongside seasonal produce. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the service expanded to include free takeaway meals in place of its former sit-down community meals[3]. The charity also develops Skills Based Learning initiatives focused on job training, though specific program details remain unspecified in public records[5].

Operational structure
Staffed primarily by volunteers, the organisation emphasises community-driven support mechanisms. Its work is structured through two operational addresses in Melton, though these locations are not publicly promoted as service access points in program materials[1][5]. As a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR1), the charity holds tax-deductible status for donations through its Public Benevolent Institution endorsement[3].
