Sainsbury's Kelso

Initiated by residents and supported by Kelso Community Council, Kelso Community Larder is being set up to reduce food waste. Kelso Community Larder takes surplus food from food retailers in and around Kelso and make it available to the public free of charge. The Kelso Community Larder is run entirely by volunteers and will soon be a registered charity (Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation). We operate from 42 Bowmont Street, Kelso TD5 7JH. The larder is open to absolutely anyone and everyone and the food is available free of charge. Of course, donations are always extremely welcome but they are certainly not required. We plan to collect from all the supermarkets in Kelso and surrounding areas who support our aim of distributing surplus, edible food to our community. Our launch date is planned for 27 February 2023 when we hope to have good media coverage.
