About


Support the Cherwell Larder and sponsor a local family

You do not need to attend our grand opening to help. You can sponsor a local family with a ticket purchase today. 

The Cherwell Larder has helped hundreds of people throughout the lockdown and financial crisis caused by COVID. We provide weekly food parcels (pantry staples and fresh produce) and regular non food essentials like toiletries, cleaning products, and pet supplies. For our users with special diets we supply ready meals and meal kits. We provide all of this free of charge to our neighbours in need. 

From 1 September the Larder is changing. Our suppliers require families to pay an initial membership fee as well as small weekly subscription fees in order to receive food parcels. For each family, membership can mean up to £500 annual savings estimated at £10 per week. Still, over half of our families have told us they are not able to cover these costs. 

Cherwell Larder is seeking sponsors to help our families in need. Our sponsorship plans start at £5. For £5 you can provide a weekly food parcel, a supplemental pantry box full of essentials like rice, beans, and tinned fish, and household products requested by our families. For £10 you can provide all of that plus some chilled items such as yogurt, bread, eggs, and other proteins. There is no minimum time commitment: you can be a hero for a week, for a month, or for a year. 

Please buy a ticket, or contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in sponsoring a family, and thank you very much for your consideration.
