Message from Hampshire County Council
Waste not, want not! One of our suppliers, Bidfood UK has committed to delivering donations of any surplus food items from its regional depot to Hampshire's Community Pantry network to help families in need with the rising cost of living.
The pantries provide weekly access to a range of affordable food at lower cost than supermarkets for people struggling to afford groceries to help make their budget stretch further.
This new initiative comes alongside various other measures to support vulnerable households, including pensioners and families with children. It is being funded by our Household Support Funding, awarded by the Department for Work and Pensions - DWP
Residents can search for their local pantry on the connect4communities website https://www.hants.gov.uk/.../child.../connectforcommunities/
