The Pop-Up Pantry runs every Friday from 2pm – 3.30pm. Membership is free to anyone who lives in the Forres area with an IV36 postcode. You can sign up the first time that you visit and the weekly shop costs £3 (minimum donation). The Food Recovery items are supplied by CFINE (Community Food Initiatives North East) via Moray Food Plus and the local Co-ops and Tesco. Your £3 donation lets you buy any 8 items from the different food categories that have been supplied that week. Different food is available each week, depending on what has been donated. We also have deliveries of food – mostly bread, cakes, and sometimes fruit and veg – 3 times a week, and this is available in the entrance foyer during opening hours, for a donation. Please just come along and help yourself! ‘Pop In’ and see what has ‘Popped Up’ this week!
