A little update for all our YUM members 💚

From 1st August, the cost of a pantry shop will be £6. We’ve kept our price the same since opening in 2023, so this isn’t a decision we’ve taken lightly. Please help us spread the word to anyone who shops with us.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support 😊

🍳 Looking for something to do with the kids this summer?

Our Pals over at Inn Churches and FoodSavers Network are running FREE Kids' Cook + Learn workshops throughout the summer holidays for children aged 7–15 (with some sessions for ages 5–7) at the Cookery School in Leeds Kirkgate Market 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

It's a great opportunity for children to learn new cooking skills, have fun and enjoy making some delicious food 🥕🍅

🚗 VOLUNTEER DRIVERS NEEDED! 🚗

On Monday alone, the Yum Community Pantry and Fridge fed 65 households in our community.

This incredible impact is only possible because of our amazing volunteer drivers who pick up and deliver surplus food. However, the reality is that over the past year, demand for affordable and emergency food has doubled.

We are stretched to our limits and desperately need more pairs of hands (and wheels!) to keep up.

🕒 Can you spare some time?
We are looking for reliable volunteers for surplus food collections from local supermarkets on:

Thursday evenings

Sunday evenings

If you have a car, a valid driving license, and a desire to stop good food from going to waste while helping your neighbors, we want to hear from you! Even volunteering just one evening a month makes a massive difference.

📥 How to apply:
Send us a DM directly on Facebook or email us at [email protected] to get started.

Let’s feed our community together! 💛

This National Volunteer Week, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to every single one of our amazing volunteers across Armley Action Team, Yum and Bundles 💙

Your kindness, dedication and support make such a difference to our community every single day. Whether you give an hour or a day, we truly couldn’t do what we do without you.

Thank you for being the heart of everything we do 🎉

New month, new shop… and what a transformation! 🎉

We’re so excited to finally share our new space with you all. We’ve only moved just around the corner from our old shop, but this one is SO much bigger, giving us more room to support our community, stock more essentials, and make your visits even better ❤️

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us on this journey so far. We can’t wait to welcome you through the doors and show you around!
