Free Food Pantry
We have collaborated with Kaivolution to become a food distribution hub. Food is collected from supermarkets which is past its best by date. It is food that cannot be sold but is still good to eat. It will be mostly bread and some fresh produce and pantry food. We will not know how much or what produce there will be until it arrives. We are starting out with two days a week. You can collect free food from 12.30 pm to 3 pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from the 10th of March. Bring your own bag or containers.
