The Highbridge and Burnham on Sea (HBoS) Local Pantry is a community run project developed with Morland Community Hub, Burnham on Sea Baptist Church and Sedgemoor District Council. The aim is to stop good food going to waste by making it available at low cost to local people. Each week we buy food from national food charity Fareshare, who work with large food producers and supermarkets to ensure g
ood, fresh (but essentially surplus) food is not wasted. They take the food directly from their partners before it even reaches supermarkets, sort it in their warehouse and deliver to communities across the country. We also work with local retailers and food producers to take their surplus food and make it available to our members. The Local Pantry is a membership scheme – Local residents can sign up and £3.50 a week. Members are given a tote and chiller bag and each week receive a mix of fresh, chilled and ambient (tinned/ dry) foods. Different dietary requirements can often be accommodated. Please ask for information on allergens. The value varies between £15 - £25 and can be higher. The HBoS Local Pantry runs on a Friday between 1pm – 3pm (to be confirmed) Members agree a time to collect and pay for their food.
