Criteria for membership is anyone who is experiencing food insecurity and lives in Northway. We operate as a Weekly Food Club enabling members to choose 10 restockable grocery items plus milk, bread, frozen, fresh, fruit and veg - subject to availability for a weekly fee of £4 which is used to maintain the Pantry and purchase stock. We partner with local schools, churches and other organisations who refer those most in need to us. We rely on the support of local Businesses, charities, supermarkets and individuals who donate groceries to us for redistribution via the Northway Pantry. Currently we have one supermarket who provides us with surplus donations. Neighbourly donations will be shared between members who choose the food that they need. Whilst we believe it is important that families choose their own items, some types of food are limited so that all families have a fair proportion. Pantry Membership is reviewed quarterly and can last between 3 months and one year. With support from Neighbourly we can support a total of 20 families per week plus pets. We are run entirely by local volunteers.
