Since August 2020 we’ve been producing our Recipe Meal Kits. The creation & distribution of these kits tackle food insecurity, food waste & provide an educational platform where beneficiaries receive food but also learn new skills and are able to cook a healthy meal from scratch with their family.

Impact
By being rooted within the communities we serve we manage to get on the ground feedback. We know our kits are making a real difference to people’s everyday life.
My girls love using the Bread n Butter meal kits. It's encourages them to get into the kitchen, get creative, become more independent and confident with their cooking skills.

Your Recipe Meal Kits were like a gift to me last year when I was recovering from an operation. It was like a mother's helping hand, I could leave my husband to follow the recipe and together you fed my family of 5 children. It was stress free - we didn't have to go to the shops, it didn't cost us anything and we didn't have to think.

This dish was a dream to make-so quick and so simple yet so tasty. The beauty of this dish is that anything can be substituted for the main ingredients. Bigging up Bread n Butter for the gift of food.

It’s so hard to feed yourself in these hard times let alone your family. Thanks to Bread n Butter for serving our community. This curry dish was succulent.
