St Albans Community Pantry (SACP) was born in 2020 with a vision of closing the loop between food waste and food insecurity. It is entirely volunteer run and led. We are a hybrid of a food bank and a food rescue operation. We collect surplus food from retailers/wholesalers, and offer it to all through our Community Fridge (CF) and bread pantry.
In addition, we offer targeted help to more vulnerable individuals and families who find themselves in hardship by providing boxes of predominantly fresh produce on a weekly basis for as long as needed.
Unlike other local food banks we are secular and do not impose any criteria to access the CF or boxes.
