Food pantries
A food pantry gives community members access to healthy, low-cost food, including fresh fruit and veg, frozen and chilled food, meat and dairy products, and long-life tinned and packaged food.
You don't need to be referred to become a member of a food pantry. Instead, members pay a small subscription fee of a few pounds a week, and in return can choose groceries worth many times more.
Pantries are just like a shop, in that you choose the food you want from the shelves.
