Burgess Hill Pantry

Burgess Hill Pantry provides residents in the RH15, RH16 and BN6 postcodes with a long-term solution to food poverty, by offering them an experience as close to empowered supermarket shopping as possible. Each week, for £4, they choose 10 or more fresh, frozen or pantry items (with an average value of between £15 and £20), saving them money, preventing food waste and providing affordable healthy foods. This Summer we will be celebrating our 2nd birthday. We have seen demand escalate over the two years we have been open and now have over 180 members and a waiting list that grows everyday.
Our stock comes from a number of sources, donations from individuals, charities (such as Fareshare or HIs Church, local food banks) and retailers such as Waitrose, Marks and Spencer and Tescos who donate stock that would otherwise be destined for landfill. Local businesses also offer us support in the form of monthly shops and donations of money. We also purchase items to ensure that our members have a good range of items to choose from.
Whilst we are fortunate to benefit from an amazing local community receiving support from local businesses, charities and organisations, we are always happy to welcome more sponsors and donations.
We are currently experiencing huge demand for our services. If you are interested in helping us help your community we would love to hear from you, get in touch using hello@bhlocalpantry.org. We welcome your support no matter how much or how little, every donation makes a difference to our Members.
