DINE WITH US

Community Larder is one of our two primary projects. This project takes fresh food waste, short life fresh food or surplus stock and distributes it to those in need. We aim to give our Service Users the choice within food groups and promote a healthy balanced diet including protein. The food groups are bread, cakes, pastries, vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, cheese, eggs and vegan products.
