|Recurring Event (See all)

At the beginning of the first lockdown we converted Sumac Centre into a hub for the distribution of foods around our community, to open our food stores for those isolated at home or those that wish to distance themselves from the madness of Tesco & Asda (for many reasons)

We’ve crunched the 800+ rows of our stock control spreadsheet and gotten it down to 190 of the more popular items that we can sell.

Please look at the stock list and order form and let us know what you need. The list includes #organic & #glutenfree tags. We set prices below recommended retail prices. We aim to be cheaper than supermarkets, but as we stock ethically sourced, wholefood, fairtrade & organic products, the broken food system unfortunately can make these more expensive .

You can place your orders by email to sales@veggies.org.uk.

Goods can also be requested & collected from Sumac Centre between 12 & 3pm on Sundays and Wednesdays.

You are encouraged to collect for isolated, at-risk, frail or elderly friends and neighbours too.

When collecting from Sumac you are encouraged to bring containers, jars & bottles. Bottles & jars are essential for cleaning materials that are dispensed from bulk supplies. (Extra empty bottles are welcome for those without).

Many items come from bulk supplies. Cleaning materials & liquid foods may be dispensed in jars & bottles. Empty bottles are welcome to maintain our supply.

We aim to stock ethically sourced, wholefood, fair trade & organic products which, due to the broken food system, may be more expensive than cheap supermarket foods.

We also are redistributing donated foods and foods from businesses that have had to close. If you have surplus foods to share, please contact us.

Everything that we stock is vegan and therefore suitable for most dietary, cultural & religious preferences. Gluten free items are also available.

We are concentrating on Forest Fields (NG7-6) & New Basford (NG7-7). Local Mutual Aid Networks may be able to help if you need delivery further afield.

Please join our Food Hub group on facebook updates, new products, delivery/collection details etc, or see details on the product list, our Food Hub page or this Facebook post.

Also on Sundays.
