Everybody should have access to good food. Everybody values community. Your Local Pantries provide both – and more.
Pantries stock an abundant and wide range of top-quality food including fresh fruit and veg, frozen and chilled food, meat and dairy products, and long-life tinned and packaged food. Members pay a small subscription of a few pounds a week, and in return can choose groceries worth many times more, often saving over £1,000 a year on shopping bills.
Pantries are just like a shop, in that you choose the food you want from the shelves. Pantries are run by uniformed staff and volunteers who manage the stores with hand-held technology.
Each Pantry also has a cherished role as a neighbourhood hub, often serving as a springboard to other initiatives and ideas, such as cookery classes, volunteering opportunities, and training.
Now and again, Your Local Pantry needs a top-up of fresh, frozen or seasonal food. If you want to top up the Pantry when something is needed, but hasn’t been donated, you can. To make a donation today, just select your nearest Pantry, and choose whether it will be a regular donation or a one-off.
