South Bridgwater Local Pantry

The food we receive each week is delivered by national food charity Fareshare, who work with large food producers and supermarkets to ensure good, fresh (but essentially surplus) food is not wasted. They take the food directly from their partners before it even reaches supermarkets, sort it all in their warehouse and deliver every week to various communities across the country.

This pantry works by providing members (residents who sign up) with weekly food parcels for £3.50. Each parcel contains between 10-14 food items worth between £15 – £25 and contains a mixture of food types from dairy, including milk, butter and cheese, to meat, vegetarian meals, tinned foods, sauces and dry stored foods such as pasta and rice. Members are given a time slot between each week to pay for and pick up their food and have access to bespoke recipe cards and cooking information
