WITHAMSIDE COMMUNITY FOOD LADER(formerly the Waste Not Want Not scheme)

Withamside Community Food Larder

(formerly the Waste Not Want Not scheme)

Thursday 27th August 2026

Donations from 9.30am to 11.30am

Collections from 1pm to 3.30pm

at St. Michael’s Church Bassingham

A community initiative to help each other through these tough times

(A local, volunteer, not for profit food larder run in partnership

between Greens of Bassingham and the Withamside Parish.)

On the last Thursday of each month Food and Essential Goods can be donated at the Church between 9.30am & 11.30am. This can include fresh products from gardens and allotments etc. as well as store cupboard items and treats! Fresh donations can only be made on the day, but other grocery items and essentials such as nappies, cleaning products, drinks and snacks etc. can be donated at any time, either at church or dropped into Greens Stores. In addition, any monetary donations can be dropped into Greens Stores to enable us to buy fresh bread, milk and other essentials on the day.

Collections are then available from the Church, between 1pm & 3.30pm and are aimed at anyone in our parish who needs that little bit of extra help making ends meet (one box per household) all free! It’s a way of sharing, re-distributing excesses and supporting our own community.

The Withamside Community Food Larder will continue on the last Thursday of each month.

Please pop the dates on your calendar and support us with donations, volunteering, spreading the word and encouraging people to come along who might need that little bit of extra help.

A warm welcome and sincere thanks awaits all!
