Community Pantry Starting at Green Hall: Cefn Community Association is this month launching a weekly community pantry scheme and is appealing for more volunteers to help run it.
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.
Cefn community pantry launches on May 25, with collections of food bags on Tuesdays at 2pm-4pm.
Volunteers, with their own transport will be needed to collect the supplies, pack the bags and serve the members.
For more information please contact Mary Thomas, who is coordinating the volunteer effort, at email: waltyclive2@gmail.com
