We believe that for people to eat more healthily we need to make it easier for them to do so.
We set up Pantries in community centres and children’s centres- stocked with fresh fruit and vegetables and other store cupboard staples.
A Pantry offers members a weekly choice of healthy food for an affordable pay-as-you-go membership at just £5/week.
Pantry members pay £5 a week and choose:
- up to 10 PANTRY items: a diverse range of fresh fruit and vegetables
- up to 10 SURPLUS items: from donations from supermarkets and other food suppliers
When you come to a pantry
- Reduce your food shopping bills
- Get a diverse range of fresh fruit and vegetables and healthy food
- Find more choice than a food bank
- Reduce food waste from supermarkets and other food suppliers
- Feel a sense of community and solidarity.
- Be signposted to other events & services and find volunteering opportunities
