About Burgess Hill Pantry

Burgess Hill Pantry provides residents in the RH15, RH16 and BN6 postcodes with a long-term solution to food poverty, offering them an experience as close to empowered supermarket shopping as possible. Each week, for £5, they choose 10 or more fresh, frozen or pantry items (with an average basket value of between £25 and £30), saving money, preventing food waste and providing affordable healthy foods. Demand has escalated over the two years we have been open and now have over 240 members shopping for over 500 adults and children and a waiting list. Our stock comes from a number of sources, donations from individuals, charities (such as Fareshare His Church, local food banks) and retailers such as Consort, Lidl, Waitrose, Marks and Spencer and Tescos who donate stock that otherwise would be destined for landfill. Local businesses also 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. We need more help and we are looking for businesses to help us secure our future. We will soon be required to find new premises and would like to reduce our waiting list and broaden our offering. In order to do this we need to increase our annual income substantially. If you can help in any way, we would love to hear from you. hello@bhlocalpantry.org
