Swansea Community Pantry
Inspired by the difficulty that a lot of people have had getting essential items during the Covid-19 pandemic, like dried and canned goods, we’ve set up Swansea Community Pantry, which makes store cupboard goods and hygiene products available, via an ordering system.
Here’s how it will work:
1. An up to date stock list will be maintained on our website. You can look through this to see if we have anything you need. Please note that availability of items may be subject to change at short notice and we cannot necessarily guarantee that the entire order is fulfilled.
2. Complete the request form at the bottom of the page, to tell us what you need. This must be completed and emailed us by 5pm on a Friday, for collection the following week.
3. You will be asked to complete a registration form and read our disclaimer return it to us before the order can be finalised.
4. Items will then be made available to collect on the following Tuesday, between 1pm and 3pm. While we will endeavour to stick to this time frame, collection times may be subject to change.
While some of our stock is from supermarket surplus schemes, some items have been purchased with grants that we have obtained to tackle food poverty and other social issues. With this in mind, we remind users that this is a limited resource for the benefit of the community and ask that you only ask for what you genuinely need.
