What is the food larder

The Food Larder is a community larder run by volunteers for the benefit of their local community. It is a membership scheme aimed at helping you make your money go further by reducing your food shopping bills (you can make a considerable saving each year).

A bag will be prepared in advance, and the Food Larder strives to offer a variety of products which can top up your cupboards and fridge.  It is estimated that the “bag” will hold an average of £10-£15 worth of products (dependent on your household size). A typical bag can include some of these items: Pasta, rice, coffee, tea bags, tinned meats, tinned fish, tinned desserts, soups.
