Food support across Torfaen

If you’re looking for food support, there are several options that may help depending on your situation and location. Not all support requires a referral, see below for fare shares and pantries. For emergency support from food banks referrals can be made by agencies such as Citizen's Advice

Food pantry in north of Torfaen

A food pantry is a membership-based community grocery club or a charitable center that provides low-cost food to local residents. Members typically pay a small weekly fee (e.g., £5) in exchange for choosing a larger amount of groceries, fresh produce, and household essentials, helping to reduce food waste and stretch household budgets.

Open Thursdays from 10:30 am to 4 pm (previously listed as 10 am–3 pm). For £7, residents can choose 12 items, including fresh fruit, vegetables, and cupboard staples.
