The Kirkby Lonsdale Community Cupboard

The KLCC began with the Community Hub during the first lockdown of COVID in March 2020. Our aim was to connect isolating residents with volunteers who could help them with shopping, prescription pick-ups, laundry drop-offs, etc. As with the other ventures that we started during the lockdown, such as our Community Cupboard and Lunches, we found that there was a need for these outside of the pandemic, and have continued to provide these services. Since then, we have continued to grow, starting new ventures to benefit our Community.

The Community Cupboard is a non-profit charitable organisation and its purposes are to

1. provide donated/surplus food to residents within our local communities (Kirkby Lonsdale and its surrounding areas) who are in need of support and
2. help to reduce food waste.
