Community pantry

What you need to know

The Hive's community pantry is open to everyone during current rises with living costs.

Our pantry bags provide a selection of dry goods and long-life items offered fortnightly. This is to help ease the cost of living expenses.
You will be asked to provide a postcode as well as a pre-provided stamp card.

Each bag is pre-packed and can include essential items such as:

• pasta
• rice
• tins
• soup

If you receive an item you will not use, you can donate it back to us for redistribution.
