The Bread and Butter Thing redistributes good quality, nutritious food that would otherwise go to waste. There is no eligibility criteria or referral needed, everyone is welcome.
This affordable food club offers low cost weekly shopping bags made up of fruit and veg, fridge favourites and cupboard staples donated from high street supermarkets, food manufacturers and farmers.
The food is delivered to your collection hub once a week, and you collect from there, or have someone collect for you. There is a low cost for the food you collect, based on the amount. A standard set is three bags of shopping: one chilled, one cupboard and one fruit/veg. You can choose from one bag of a bit of everything for an individual, or up to several bags for a large family. The current bag options are either meat or vegetarian. They don’t currently offer specific dietary options, e.g. halal or gluten free.
It’s free to join and there’s no eligibility criteria or affordability checks. Simply text 07860 063 304 with your full name, postcode, and the name of the hub you will be collecting from.
The Normacot hub is every Friday 12:00-12:30pm at the Normacot Family Hub, ST3 4RF.
