The Bread and Butter Thing offers weekly groceries at a fraction of high street prices. Wheatley Hill Community Centre are opening their new Wheatley Hill Hub on Wednesday 19 July 2023.
For £8.50 they are offering roughly £35 worth of food each week including fresh fruit and veg, chilled food for the fridge and cupboard staples such as pasta and cereal.
They get their supplies from the stuff that you hear about in the news going to waste: it comes from supermarkets, factories and farms. The food changes daily meaning food bags will change from week to week. Most members tell us that
they collect food from The Bread and Butter Thing and then ‘top up’ from the supermarket once they have seen what they have received.
As the bags vary from day to day, some weeks the savings will be greater than others. However, you will always be paying much less than in the shops and have new foods to try. Very occasionally, if food supplies that day are low, we will not have enough for the 3 bags. In this case, they will lower the price. They want you to feel they are making a difference to your weekly food bills.
Why not give it a try? There is no commitment and its free to join.
Please see the attached for more information on how to join and order a food bag.
The Community Centre needs your help to bring this mobile affordable food pantry to Wheatley Hill.
Join their volunteer team to help unload the van and pack food into bags. Its a great way to meet new friends and support your community. The Community Centre would live to hear from you if you could give 3 hours of your time on a Wednesday from 12pm to 3pm.
