Community grocery swansea
Monday to Friday | 9.30am – 4.30pm
We have partnered with the award-winning national charity ‘Message Trust’ to open its first Community Grocery in Swansea, South Wales.
The Community Grocery is a bridge between a foodbank and a supermarket, allowing members to come and shop for the whole family at a fraction of the cost.
All members of the community can join the scheme for an annual membership of £5 per year. This will give members access to food shops multiple times per week. Members will be able to purchase fresh fruit and veg, bakery items, freezer and chilled items, tinned foods and toiletries for as little as £5 per shop, helping them save on their shopping budget.
The Community Grocery is not only about food, members are given access to free courses such as learning how to cook, debt and money advice and exploring Christianity courses and much more.
The Community Grocery is open 5 days a week, Monday to Friday at St Stephen’s Church in Port Tennant.
Community Lunch
Wednesday | 12.30pm
We love sharing food together at our weekly community meal. The food is delicious, served with a smile and won’t cost you a thing. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and grow in community together!
