The Pantry provides tinned foods, dry goods, fresh foods, meats, diary products, personal and household items for a handling fee to needy families.
How it works
On your first visit, you’ll be asked to register for statistical purposes only. After that, just provide your name, phone number, and the number of people you’re selecting food for (adults and children) each time you visit.
There are two food selection options available:
- $40 Option – Includes access to dry goods, fridge and freezer items, bread, fresh fruit, and vegetables.
- $25 Option – Includes fridge and freezer items, bread, fresh fruit, and vegetables (excludes dry goods).
You’re welcome to choose more than one option depending on your needs and budget.
Please note: food availability varies day to day depending on donations and stock levels.
This service is designed to provide a helpful top-up between shops — it’s not a full grocery shop, but you’ll receive much more value than the handling fee.
There’s no requirement to be on a pension card or benefit – this service is available to anyone doing it tough.
