What is a social supermarket?
Can I shop there?
Yes, anyone is welcome to shop at our Social Supermarkets.
Unlike traditional food banks, we do not require proof of circumstance, membership or a referral to shop within our stores.
If you’re feeling the impact of rising food prices, looking to tighten your weekly budget or looking for a more affordable way to live, you’re welcome to pay us a visit!
what do you stock?
Our stock is donated to us by our amazing suppliers and is subject to frequent changes. There’s always something new to discover day-to-day!
We do our best to ensure that our stores have everything you need for a healthy, happy and affordable lifestyle.
The big picture
Shopping at our social supermarket is not only good for your bank, but it’s also good for your planet!
Every purchase — no matter how big or small — prevents perfectly good food from going to waste and helps us take one step towards a more environmentally conscious future.
No matter if you’re looking to shop more sustainably, economically or looking to support our endeavours, our Social Supermarkets provide a low-cost and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional stores that benefits our community and planet.
We work together with all these amazing suppliers to make a difference
