We would never be able to make the impact we have without the support of our amazing team of volunteers who give us more than 70 hours of their time each week to support the running of The Govan Pantry!
We’re really grateful for all your votes and support.

🌟 Here's a wee snapshot of the difference our volunteers make:

💬As a long term service user of the Pantry I just want to say how valuable it is to myself and others. It affords me the opportunity to try foods I could not afford due the prices; The pantry also has a great feel of community about it and I like visiting as it has a great social aspect to it . It is a welcome and much needed service for the community.
-Pantry Customer

💬I am so happy I could volunteer. I really enjoy working with the other volunteers and the smiles of people coming in to do their shopping. They make my day and the atmosphere is amazing

🌟 We’re excited to announce that our incredible Govan Pantry Volunteers have been nominated for Health & Wellbeing Champion Of The Year in Glasgow South!

Vote Now at: https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/community-champion-awards/south/ and celebrate the amazing impact they've made.

This is a testament to their tireless dedication, compassion, and the transformative impact they’ve had on our community. From stocking shelves to supporting families with dignity and care, our volunteers are the heartbeat of The Govan Pantry.
Since its beginnings as a pandemic foodbank in 2020, The Govan Pantry has grown into a vital community lifeline. And none of it would be possible without our volunteers, who show up every day with heart and purpose.
The Pantry is a subsidised community shop helping families shop smarter and budget better, providing access to fresh, frozen, and essential items at reduced cost. For just £3 a week, members can select 10 items, saving up to £20 per shop. It’s a sustainable model that tackles food insecurity while reducing waste, thanks to Fare Share West of Scotland.
