Community Pantry Update: The weekly community pantry scheme at Green Hall is proving to be very successful.
A community pantry supports people who may be struggling to get to supermarkets or who are experiencing difficulties affording weekly groceries due to issues such as limited mobility, not having a car, etc.
The scheme, which is organised by Reach and Elipse, provides people with a bag of food ranging from cupboard staples and family favourites to fresh fruit and vegetables for just £5. The food is supplied by the charity Fare Share who are based in Cardiff. They work with major retailers who supply the food – all in date.
People become members of the pantry for a nominal annual fee of £1 and then pay £5 for a bag of food which is dried, tinned and fresh fruit and vegetables worth approximately £15- £20.
You are able to collect food bags each Tuesday from 2pm-4pm.
This scheme is available for everyone and you do not have be in receipt of any benefits, non residents of Cefn Cribwr are also welcome to take advantage of the scheme.
For more information please phone or text 07544 026 265.
