The local pantry is an initiative partnered with FareShare Southwest providing fresh & cupboard
food to families at a fraction of the normal price. Fareshare works with large organisations to help
bridge the gap between food producers, supermarkets and landfill to ensure good, fresh (but
surplus) food is not wasted. This food gets delivered to us every week and all the food is within its
'best before' date. We also receive donations from Morrisons and Lidls.
The aim for our members is to provide good food at a reduced price helping to stretch the weekly
budget during this cost of living crisis and also saving good food going to landfill. It is run by local
volunteers to support the residents of North Taunton. The food we receive varies from week to
week, and we never know what we will receive until it is delivered. Anyone can join, but we do have
a limit on numbers due to fridge space.
For any information please get in touch.
