Dear John

Could your group or church be interested in running a Local Pantry? During Challenge Poverty Week, we're holding a 'What is a Pantry?' online event - come along if you can.

What is a Pantry? 

Tuesday 18 October, 2pm to 3pm. Online event.

During lockdown, Pantries proved to be a great support to communities. Now, during the cost of living crisis, Pantries soften the blow of high living costs.

Pantries create a safe place for communities to come together and thrive. Not only do pantries provide food for low costs, but also builds relationships in a supportive environment so together, people can reclaime dignity, choice and hope.

Taking place during Challenge Poverty Week, the online "What is a Pantry?" event will highlight how Pantries help tackle poverty and uphold dignity in local communities. Learn more about the awareness week and other events are taking place throught the week by visiting the Challenge Poverty Week England and Wales (2022) website.

Best wishes,
