From 1st December until Christmas Eve I will be running around the Marshalswick area in St Albans dressed as an Elf, covering at least 5km every day.

I am supporting St Albans Community Pantry, encouraging people to donate long-life food items or make a monetary donation to the charity. The monetary donations go a long way to helping the Charity operate throughout the year.

St Albans Community Pantry (SACP) was born in 2020 with a vision of closing the loop between food waste and food insecurity. It is entirely volunteer run and led.

"We are a hybrid of a food bank and a food rescue operation. We collect surplus food from supermarkets and offer it to all through our community fridge and bread pantry. In addition, we offer targeted help to more vulnerable individuals and families who find themselves in hardship, by providing boxes of predominantly fresh produce on a weekly basis for as long as needed.

With growing demand for our services, we are always looking for volunteers and donations, so please do get in touch if you would like to help or donate"

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
