Update:

We will be running *a 30-minute _All You Can Carry_ food session at 9am tomorrow (Friday 26 June 2026) so that clients & any volunteers on the day can take as much food home as possible.

For those who come tomorrow, this means they can get loads to make up for the closed session today and also to last the weekend which is set to be hot for a couple of days still.

And if you can turn up and volunteer with us at 8am please let us know by commenting “coming”. (Pic for illustration and attention)

Unfortunately we have to close on Friday 12 June 2026, as our collections team is unexpectedly short-staffed. We’re sorry for any inconvenience and look forward to welcoming you back on Monday 15 June.

We are now on Too Good to Go. You do not want to miss it!

An update from Jedidiah

We are introducing a new schedule at our Hertford pantry from 21 May 2026. We have trialled a few options and have reached the following conclusion:

- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: Free access from 12:15pm (early access from 12:00pm for a £1 donation).

- Thursday: Free access from 12:30pm (early access from 12 noon for a £5 donation).

Free access is available every weekday. Nobody who needs food is turned away.

WHY THE INTRODUCTION OF EARLY ACCESS?

Our Hertford operations have grown considerably over the last six years. The volume of food we now collect from our partner supermarkets each evening is more than our volunteers alone can sustain, and we have responded by employing four people from our local community to support the collections.

Every collection role we create is a paid job that stays in the community, and a household that benefits from steady work. The donations introduced this week go directly towards:

- Paying our collection drivers and staff.
- Creating further jobs locally.
- Keeping the pantry itself free for everyone.

**We are always looking for more collections people.** If you are fit, have a large car or van, are available in the evenings, and would like to earn some money while supporting the community, please email [email protected] with "Collections vacancy" in the subject line.

The food itself remains, as it has always been, free. Thank you to everyone who has supported this work, and continues to.

Oh My Goodness!!! Exactly 6years ago, this Charity was born at a kitchen table, brought my kids and I into contact with so many fantastic people in Hertford, a town that welcomed me so unconditionally from the day I arrived. Ps if you‘ve not been to Hertford, go, it’s stunning. Not a single clue we would go on to open in multiple towns, 5 days a week (4in Buckingham) serving up to 205 people a day!!! 😱
What wonderful people volunteer with us. Ps: don’t even think about flagging H&S .. that was my daughter, she was quickly stopped from touching the pumptruck, and yes we have volunteer dogs who volunteer with us 🐕 😃 We are so very very privileged. , (& Northampton), it has been a privilege to serve! ps: if you watch the video you can literally see us expand from home to village hall to location 1, location 2, location 3. I do have to address: We were very sad to shut Northampton a couple of months ago but it doesn’t mean we don’t have wonderful memories. We don’t rest, we keep moving and elevating. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers everywhere and to our supporters. Thank you Ms Myers, allandt (you know who you are!)
