Kendal Community Food Larder

Run by Waste into Wellbeing, Kendal Community Food Larder is open on:

  • Tuesdays and Thursdays 12 – 2pm at the Old Coach House behind Stricklandgate House
  • Saturdays 11.30am – 2pm at Kendal People’s Café, South Lakes Foyer.

A dedicated team of volunteers work hard to collect, sort and store donated surplus food which is offered to households on a pay-as-you-can basis. The project is open to everyone.

The food is available thanks to local food retailers and the food redistribution charity Fare Share and includes rescued food which would have otherwise been wasted.

Similar to the food waste from our homes, food that isn’t rescued from super markets can end up in landfill and contribute to dangerous levels of methane in our atmosphere.
