Cedar Park Pantry : Supporting Communities in Ashton-under-Lyne

Image shows volunteers from Cedar Park Pantry smiling for the cameraCedar Park Pantry, is one of our Community Food Members serving the community of Ashton-under-Lyne. Run by the Smallshaw Hurst Community Action Group with support from Ashton United in the Community, Smallshaw-Hurst Children’s Community & St John the Evangelist Church, the pantry offers food support to local residents who are part of their membership.

The Pantry’s aim is to support the community they live in and ensure that nobody is left isolated or without support. Membership of the Pantry is free for residents of Broadoak, Hazel Hurst, Hurst Cross and Smallshaw. On being asked about the food they receive from FareShare Greater Manchester, they replied “we couldn’t do it without you – FareShare Plus is great!”.

Great Value

Members are treated to refreshments when the Pantry opens for the business each Tuesday. When they visit the Pantry, members pay £3 each time they shop and in return they get a bag of food valued at around £18. You can find the Cedar Park Pantry in the Cedar Park Pavilion building just off Queens Road in Ashton-under-Lyne.

The food waste hierarchy calls for food to feed people first

Food companies are legally obliged to use food to feed people before sending to anaerobic digestion or for animal feed. We help them use their surplus to feed people first.
