Oasis Pantry provides regular access to affordable food to those on low incomes, through two weekly food pantries. Our members sign up and pay a small weekly fee which gives them access to a wide range of surplus food, including chilled food, essential store cupboard items as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. Anyone living or working within a 15 minute radius of one of our pantries, and who is on a household income of less than £18,000 a year is welcome to join.
For many of our members, having regular access to affordable food frees up income to be spent on other essentials, such as heating and other utility bills. It also improves their diet and in turn their wellbeing and mental health. They also have a safe place to come each week to get support, see a friendly face, and be part of a community that cares for them.
