ALDI ALTON

Alton Community Cupboard is a community project set up to reduce waste. Local volunteers collect surplus food (and other surplus goods) from supermarkets, allotments and peoples' fridges and make it available to anyone and everyone from the local area. Alton Community Cupboard does not charge for the food and surplus goods that we distribute but small voluntary donations of £2 are accepted for higher value items to contribute to running costs. Alton Community Cupboard makes the food and surplus goods available to anyone in the community that can benefit from these. The shop opens 6 days per week and there are a core of customers who attend every week or more frequently as well as others who attend from time to time. In 2024 approximately 100,000kg of surplus food was distributed. Please email altoncommunitycupboard@gmail.com rather than messaging here, thank you

The Four Marks and Medstead community cupboard is an offshoot of an already very successful community group based in Alton which redistribute waste food to the local community. Currently the Four Marks and Medstead community meet every Thursday at The Church of the Good Shepherd, Lymington Bottom at 3.45pm to redistribute waste food from. Local supermarkets and the Allotments association. We have up to 30 families attending each week to collect the food in a covid secure environment.
