Some churches have enough money to purchase it from outside. Many of those purchase it from certain convents where nuns make the wafers. Other churches with less funding have volunteers prepare unleavened bread for communion.
Some churches use leavened bread for Communion because they believe the appropriate bread for the Lord's Supper is the common bread of the local community. Other churches use unleavened bread in recognition of the Jewish feast of Passover, which was the occasion at which Jesus first instituted the rite of Communion. Each choice is supported by valid but differing theological viewpoints.
