Do you know about the new discounted grocery service at The Work Shop in Moss Side which runs on Tuesdays, run by The Bread and Butter Thing.
The food comes from supermarkets, factories and farms who donate it to the project rather than wasting it or sending it to landfill. The food is then used to make up food bags for the members.
Because you don’t get to choose what foods you get The Bread and Butter Thing can afford to provide things really cheaply. Because this is a new service, they are now letting you sign up and try it out for free.
Follow these steps to join up:
- Text 07860 063 256 with your full name, your postcode and the name of your hub (The Work Shop).
