The Travelling Pantry is our community van that visits Kings Somborne, Lockerley, and Stockbridge, offering a variety of fresh and packaged food to help stretch your food budget further.
For just £5.00 per visit, you can select twelve items from our pantry, plus any free items available. You can visit once a week.
Our food comes from various sources: it’s grown, surplus, donated, or purchased through funding. We sort and stock this food in the Pantry, making it accessible to families and individuals at a minimal cost.
The Travelling Pantry has become a lifeline for many in our rural communities, especially those struggling with the cost of living crisis. With limited access to shops, food banks, and pantries, we bring the essentials directly to you!
No one should have to choose between paying a bill or eating a meal. Thanks to our partners, food donations, growing schemes, and food waste prevention channels, we provide good quality food to those who need it most.
Tuesdays 11:00am – 12:00pm
Memorial Hall, SO51 0JG
Wednesday mornings 9:30am – 11:30am
Kings Somborne Hall, SO20 6PP
2nd and last Friday of the month, in the mornings 11:15am – 12:15pm
We’re offering a fantastic support program where you can either receive a brand-new air fryer or, if you already own one, we’ll provide you with a selection of nutritious, affordable food perfect for air fryer meals, along with a handy recipe book.
