Community Food Pantry
Thu 18 Jan 2024Oldcastle Primary, in partnership with Baobab Bach, supporting the community with weekly groceries
Oldcastle Primary School is delighted to launch a food pantry in January 2024, in partnership with Baobab Bach, to offer support to families who may be struggling with weekly groceries.
The school is very keen to support the local families and identified a need to act as a hub to provide reduced cost food bags to residents who may be struggling with the rising cost of food items. Baobab Bach is an established organisation working with local organisations and volunteers to build and help sustain community pantries that provide a helping hand to those that need it. The organisation aims to promote good mental health, support the environment and eradicate food poverty.
Baobab Bach provides a reduced cost food bag to ensure that members receive quality affordable food for only £5 per bag. On average the bags contain up to 15 items to help fill up cupboards and make meals. The bags provided via Oldcastle Primary School will contain ambient food such as canned or packaged items, root vegetables and bread items.
To receive a bag, participants should be a member of the Baobab Bach pantry scheme which costs £1 for life. Membership cards are available from Oldcastle Primary School. Initially a limited number of bags will be available and individuals are encouraged to reserve a bag. Additional bags may be available if demand exists. Bags are available to anyone and are not means tested.
The Food Pantry will launch on Tuesday 16th January and will continue every Tuesday between 2pm and 3pm.
To purchase a bag we ask that families order one each week by contacting us via email (ask@oldcastleprimary.co.uk) or by phone on 01656 815790.
We are also asking parents who may be able to donate food and toiletries to us for distribution to families in need. We ask for donations of tinned, packaged, long life food or any toiletries. If you are able to donate please drop the items into main reception.
