Good news.. we have received a generous donation from Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival to enable us to buy household goods & nappies for our members. We are here for those who for whatever reason need a bit of help with their weekly shop. thevalepantry@gmail.com 07968 348481

Wow. Jurassic Coast PCN. 975 patients vaccinated in 1 day. @eilish_davoren you, the Docs, Nurses, Pharmacists and Admin team are absolutely amazing. @DorsetCCG @NikkiKF @NHSEngland This team did you proud.

Thank you to Sturminster Newton Rotary for their very generous recent donation of £500. We are now feeding approx. 450 people each week and this will help us so much.

A great article! @simone_yule @FroudSara @iangalldorset @blackmorevaleGP @KarenRhys @blackmore_vale

Fabulous to see how well this is coming on

I know we all think about food donations, but do see this pic: they desperately need household items like laundry powder & toothpaste, as well as sanitary towels/tampons. Long shelf life, so are rarely overstocked in the supermarkets & passed on, and expensive to buy.

We were visited by Gay from @TheSouthernCoop funeral Services in Sturminster Newton this week, who generously donated a large quantity of household goods. Thank you!

We are looking to open a pets section for our members! Can you help us?

Have you registered to be a member and not visited yet? If so, please contact us to let us know if you still wish to be a member as we are almost at our membership limit and may have to start a waiting list. Email thevalepantry@gmail.com or call us on 07968 348481. Thank you.

A huge thank you to @freemasondorset for their very generous £1,000 donation this week. We have only been open just over 2 weeks, and are already helping 81 families and 47 individuals/couples in our community.😀

A very busy evening with a good selection to choose from thanks to @FareshareSC @DorsetDairyCo @oxfordsbakery @CookDorchester and numerous others. We are open again 9am - 12noon on Saturday.

Visited the Pantry today to see what an amazing job you are all doing. It is truly humbling. Came back home to find Jules making industrial quantities of gooseberry jam. We will be back on Monday with reinforcements!! Thank you
