What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout Best Before Food Store
The Best Before Food Store is a food membership scheme that operates in Wellington, Somerset. We have three main aims.
1. Address food poverty through providing a pop up grocery store
2. Build the community - through fun and educational activities, such as cookery classes, arts and crafts, help with budgeting and much more.
3. Cut Waste - by using food that would otherwise have gone to landfill.
The scheme has been set up by several churches in the area, but is open to volunteers and members of any or no faith
