About The Pantry

The Pantry is your local low-cost shop based at the Uniting Harris Community Centre, offering affordable pantry food items and toiletries for everyone.  

The Pantry is a place for connection where everyone is welcome. We believe everyone should have access to good food.  

Through shopping at The Pantry you are making a sustainable choice through combating waste by accessing surplus food and groceries. With the rising cost of living and food insecurity The Pantry is offering a way to stretch your budget through accessing a great deal.

How does it work?

The Pantry is currently open on a trial period on Wednesday afternoons from 1pm – 4pm. Everyone is welcome. Here you can purchase low-cost pantry staples and toiletries and connect with your community. 

The Pantry has a grocery shop-style layout, with stock available on shelves and is run by a dedicated team of volunteers. 

Through the Support of City of Sydney and our partners CHEX, MustardSeed Uniting Church Ultimo and Christmas in Pyrmont we have created a space for people to connect and access a good deal. We purchase from Foodbank NSW and local businesses to access surplus groceries to sell at an affordable price.  

We accept credit/debit cards, cash, and CHEX gift cards can also be redeemed here.  

We recommend people bring their own bag, or they can purchase reusable shopping bags at The Pantry.
