Musselburgh Community Pantry is set up to prevent poverty and relieve financial hardship in the Musselburgh area. We operate two volunteer-run sites where people in the local area can buy affordable food and household essentials and choose the items they need. We also distribute donated and surplus food and provide a welcoming community space that helps to reduce isolation and support wellbeing.

Beneficiaries: 'Other defined groups'

Objectives: To contribute to the prevention of poverty, and the relief of financial hardship by providing food security to those who need it most. To achieve that purpose, the pantry is open to all and is underpinned with strong values of dignity, choice, and hope.
