You will find a wide variety of food donated in The LARDER by our local community and made available by local suppliers. The contents of The LARDER will constantly change depending on availability.
(We ask that if you have ANY cold or flu symptom or suspected COVID that you do not come to the church)
How much does The LARDER cost?
The LARDER is absolutely free and anyone can come and access one bag of food per week. (10 Items)
Our hope is that The LARDER will reduce food waste and make good food available to everyone who would like it.
