Hitchin Pantry

About Hitchin Pantry

Members pay a small subscription of a few pounds a week, and in return can choose groceries worth many times more, often saving up to £1,000 a year on shopping bills.
‘A hand up, not a hand out’

○ Dignity - everyone deserves secure access to good food. In a
Pantry, everyone is greeted with compassion and respect.

○ Choice - at Your Local Pantry, members always choose what they
want, as they would in any shop.

○ Hope - Pantries help to create financial wriggle-room for
members to start building the better future they seek.

Everybody should have access to good food. Everybody values community.
Your Local Pantries provide both – and more. Across the UK, 80,000 people
are finding friendship, food and freedom through Pantry membership.
Pantries are all about dignity, choice and hope. Each one operates as a
member-led neighbourhood hub, often serving as a springboard to other
community initiatives, opportunities and ideas. As we all strive for a brighter
future, Pantries are an immediate big step in the right direction, loosening
poverty’s grip and creating the breathing space for communities to pursue
ambitious goals
