What is a community pantry?
Community Pantries provide a range of fresh, frozen, cupboard and general groceries at a lower cost than supermarkets or shops. The items available can range from week-to-week and even season-to-season which also helps to reduce food waste.
Community pantries offer access by memberships where, for a small weekly membership fee, members choose food of a significantly higher value – for example, £5 for at least £20 of groceries. Anyone can apply to become a member of a community pantry and there is no eligibility testing.
Community pantries also organise activities and provide wraparound support services and opportunities for social interaction for all their members. The Community Pantries listen to their local communities and aim to provide additional services and activities to meet their local needs.
