The meals include a range of traditional favourites such as shepherd’s and cottage pie; chicken in gravy, liver and onions; sausage and mash; chicken goujons; cheese and tomato pizza, salmon fish cakes and chicken korma.
Philip Leigh, chief executive of Health & Care at Sodexo UK & Ireland said: “Food insecurity is a huge issue in the UK today so as Christmas approached we have worked with the Stop Hunger team, our supply management teams, Lineage Logistics and Brakes to provide The Bread and Butter Thing with meals to support the local communities in which they operate. Knowing that the meals have gone to those who need some extra support this Christmas is fantastic, and I thank everyone involved who has helped make this happen.”
Bread and Butter Thing runs over 110 mobile food clubs, taking affordable food into the some of the UK’s most impoverished communities.
Mark Game, founder of The Bread and Butter Thing, added: “Sodexo and its Stop Hunger team have consistently been one of our biggest and most thoughtful partners. We’re extremely grateful to them for working with their teams at Brakes and Lineage to supply these amazing meals.
“Together we’re adding an extra sparkle to the festive period for thousands of families who are making tough choices between heating and eating. These 100,000+ meals will make the world of difference.”
