Welcome to Whitley Wood Pantry!

Shelving with packet food and food in cans

Everyone deserves access to good food. Everyone values community. 

Whitley Wood Pantry provides both - and so much more!

If you become a member, you will pay just £5 each time you visit, and in return you can access food worth far, far more - typically saving £27 a week. You’ll always find a wide selection, including fresh, frozen and long-life options, fruit and veg, family favourites and non-food essentials.

This is one of 120 Pantries all over the UK. They’re amazing places! Pantries bring people together around food, soften the impact of high living costs, reduce your shopping bills and give people some much-needed financial wriggle room. They’re also places for local people to meet and chat, lighten the load together, and share ideas that can start making change happen.

Whitley Wood Pantry is run by Reading Family Church in partnership with Faith Christian Group.

For a fee of £5.00 each time they shop, members of this pantry will have access to fresh fruit and vegetables and store cupboard favourites often valuing £20-£25 or more! Membership is open to those on benefits or low incomes who live in our catchment area. You can sign up online or pop along to the Pantry and our friendly volunteers will sign you up.
