We aim to provide an effective way to help people’s food budgets go further when they find themselves in need.

By providing healthy affordable food and access to local support agencies we hope to help people by bridging the gap.

Food is sourced from distribution charities such as the Felix project and surplus produce from local Ealing allotments. Any extra items that are required are purchased using the weekly membership fees or donations from supporters.

We feel that cost shouldn't be a barrier to nutritious healthy food (including fresh fruit and vegetables) and we know those people who were disadvantaged before Covid have certainly been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Lately rising food and fuel bills have stretched household budgets even more.

While The Store Cupboard can’t help everyone, it does aim to provide a breathing space for those who may be struggling. By bridging the gap with food provisions, providing signposting support, and people to talk to, we also hope to alleviate the anxieties and sense of isolation that many people are feeling.
