This amazing project helps get super fresh, locally grown veg to the shelves of Salisbury Pantry. Could you help sustain this project?

Delivery man!

Really, Mark is such a local hero - along with his lovely wife, Sue.

Did you see them on the BBC or Salisbury Journal recently? We're looking for more volunteers, including someone who could eventually take on leadership of our little project.

I suspect taking a boot full of organic food to local charities is the best part of the role, but it's hard to beat being on the F3 plot with good people, a cup of tea, and new buds on the veg plants.

Our fabulous volunteers are at Southampton Road Tesco's today collecting donations for the Pantry. 🍞🍫🫚🧀

Please do pop in to see us, we will be here until 1pm 😀

Salisbury is a generous city. Last year this event really helped us and other projects - spread the word.

The BIG HELP OUT is back! Salisbury Guildhall Square - Sat 8 June 10am - 3pm.
Last year these lovely people (and more) helped to collect over 60 crates of donated food for Salisbury Foodbank , Salisbury PantryPantry, and other local food projects. On Sat 8th June this year residents of Salisbury can 'lend a hand' again by dropping donations to volunteers on the Guildhall Square. This year we are also joined by new project Old Sarum and Longhedge Community Pantry The projects supported help hundreds of households per week to access crisis support and sustainable affordable food.

Our incredible volunteer Angela completed the Manchester Marathon in an amazing 5 hours 21 mins and raised a fabulous £325 for Salisbury Pantry.

Thank you so much Angela! 🏃‍♀️🤗
