We’re really proud of our partnership with Getir, the fastest food around.

Did you know that Getir delivers your order in around 15 minutes from placing the order?  They sell lovely fresh fruit, vegetables, drinks, snacks and meat, and all the groceries you need.  Getir are fantastic as they donate a lot of their surplus food to us, which we then pass along to all our community food members.

Getir is an online grocery food store that covers lots of local areas.

They have an App that you download and once registered, you can start ordering food.

Fast food.  Really fast food!

We’ve been partnered with Getir for a while now and would never want to be without them.

The staff are so helpful to us, always assist us loading up the surplus food that they kindly donate to the project.  Enabling us to help so many local families and individuals in our Community.

Thank you Getir.  All your helps is appreciated.

Working with Nandos Yummy Chicken

Hangar Food Pantry – Did you know that one of our FIFTY PLUS collections a week is from Nandos?

Nandos LogoNandos has a sustainable and waste-saving project whereby they donate leftover chicken to charitable projects.

You can read about it here.

They chill and freeze unsold cooked chicken (before anything spicy is added!) and donate it to us as a local food partner.

This is great on every level:

  • It saves waste
  • It provides nutritious and healthy food to those who need it
  • It helps save money
  • It saves energy on cooking
  • Chicken is the handiest thing to have to make so many nutritious meals!

If you’re a busy household, you already know just how handy leftover chicken is – you can do so much with it!

When you receive the chicken, it just needs to be defrosted for 24 hours in the fridge, and it’s ready to use just like any other cooked chicken is.

We have both regular and Halal available.

You can use it in anything!

  • Sandwiches
  • Packed lunches
  • Stir fry
  • Curry
  • Chicken chili
  • Chicken and rice
  • Chicken jambalaya
  • Peri Peri chiken
  • The list goes on!

If you’re a visitor to our Pantry, ask the staff regarding availability.

We work with food charity Fareshare Cymru – plus numerous local retailers – on a food project that is here to help the local Community.

Anyone can access our food pantry. Whether you are a family, or low income household. You may be a working family, but the paycheque is just disappearing too fast, especially with the Cost of Living Crisis and the Pantry will help you top-up your fridge and cupboards.

Or, you may just wish to join as a member to support the project and save tonnes of food waste.

Whatever your reason…

Some of our wonderful volunteersThe Pantry aims to:

  • Provide volunteering opportunities for our community
  • Donate free food packages to those who need it
  • Provide a donation option where you can just give a small membership fee donation when you collect a food package. We don’t sell individual items of food but we supply boxes of mixed chilled, frozen, ambient and fresh food depending on what is available
  • Supply food suitable for varied dietary needs and cultural needs
  • Donations help us to purchase and run fridges, freezers, top up the pantry items with essentials, pay our food membership subscription fees and more

 

If you are a new member and wish to join our Pantry, please register here. It is a bit like placing an order online, but you will pay in person when you collect your box.

Pantry days are Thursday and Sunday 11am-1pm.  No appointment is needed.

We have random pop-up pantries by appointment which are announced on our Facebook Group
