The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) offers high-quality, low-cost food to everyone in East Cleveland and beyond. Our next Do Good Feel Good event will be supporting East Cleveland Good Neighbours with their community led foodbank
On Wednesday 29th April, we will meet at 10:45am in the Student Life Building Reception.
We will then take transport to Loftus in East Cleveland (about a 35 minute drive away).
The day will then look like this (roughly).
12pm – Unload the TBBT van into the venue (crates of fruit, veg, store‑cupboard items, etc.). There is lifting involved, and this is usually the toughest bit for our regular volunteers.
1pm – Packing the supplies. We set up three stations: one for fruit/veg, one for store‑cupboard items, and one at the refrigerated van for fresh produce. Volunteers pack bags based on community members’ pre‑orders. It’s all very smooth and organised—we usually prepare between 50–70 bags at each station.
1:30–2pm – A cuppa break (usually with cake!).
2pm – Distribute pre‑ordered food as community members arrive to collect.
2:30–3ishpm – Pack up, sweep up, and tidy the room.
3:15 - Leave the venue.
4:00pm - Arrive back to campus.
