The Porch Pantry was set up to assist people who had difficulty getting to the Foodbank in Ely during the Covid pandemic and continued to due to a perceived need through the cost of living that we all struggle with still, however, due to an inability to adequately manage it, it was decided; with a heavy heart; to close it. If people still wish to leave items, they will now be donated to Ely Foodbank, or people can continue to support Ely Foodbank through their preferred supermarket.Thank you for your past and continued support for those in need.
