🍎 Join the Community Food Pantries! 🍵

Three low-cost food shops run across Lambeth every week, and everyone is welcome!

💥 Open Tuesdays and Thursdays
💥 Three locations across Lambeth
💥 Bring a bag—no sign-up needed!

Shoppers can pay between £2 and £8 and choose 5–20 fresh and long-life food items. That’s over £12 of value for every £4 spent, helping families reduce their shopping bills. 🛍️

The pantries offer much more than affordable food. They help build community and solidarity, reduce food waste, and connect residents with further support services through drop-in sessions. 🥕
