How Does the Pantry Work?

Different food items are equal to 1, 2, or 3 points Choose between 10 points = £3.50 or 15 points = £5.00

Bring your own Bag - we also have FREE FOOD ITEMS

Do I have to use the Pantry each week?

Please feel free to come as regularly as you wish. There is no pressure to use the pantry so if you would prefer to just join the group of shoppers for a cuppa you would be very welcome.

We offer FREE light bites on Wednesdays.

I’m nervous about turning up - what should I expect?

As you enter the Old Sarum Community Centre you will be greeted by volunteers on the welcome desk. If you are not a member - one of the team will ask you to complete a membership form.

You can browse the food choices and select produce totalling values of either 10 or 15 points. Once you have your shopping you can then pay the team member on duty. We will try our hardest to make it fair for all that attend so everyone has a fair choice of the food.

On your initial visit you will need to pay for the £1 membership fee. This fee will be used to cover administration fees and you will be provided a membership card on your next visit.

As a registered local warm space you are welcome to come and sit in our Main Hall, just sign in and then you can read a paper, try our games selection, and we’re happy to chat if you’d like.

The Team on duty will support you as best we can. The pantry is connected in to wider parts of the community and can often sign post to other services.

Please feel free to talk to someone in the team and we will try our best to support you.
