Our Open Pantry is an opportunity for guests to grab free pantry items such as fruit, vegetables, bread, and other essential grocery items (varies depending on donations). Free for guests and open on Tuesday (12:00pm – 1:00pm), Wednesday (12:00pm – 1:00pm), and Friday (7.30am – 8.30am).
To access the Open Pantry, sit down in the café area (feel free to grab a drink or meal while you wait), and our guest support team will distribute number cards 10 minutes before each session begins. Look for your number on the side wall, and when your number is shown, come into the pantry area (Elkin Room) opposite to the café where a volunteer will assist you while you shop.
If you would like to support our Open Pantry, financial contributions are the most effective way to help. Donations enable us to purchase packaging, provide volunteer training and coordination. Plastic and paper bags are an essential recurring expense as many of our guests have limited storage options.
