Felix Mobile Larder - Darby Green & Hook

About

The Felix Mobile Larder is a community larder run by volunteers for the benefit of their local community located at St Barnabas Church, Darby Green, every Thursday 12.00-14.00

It is a membership scheme aimed at helping people make their money go further by reducing food shopping bills (members can make a considerable saving each year). Your bag will be prepared, in advance and a variety of products will be offered. It is estimated that your bag will hold an average of £10-£15 worth of produce (dependent on household size). A bag can consist of some of these items: Pasta, rice, coffee, tea bags, tinned meats, tinned fish, tinned desserts, soups, along with fresh fruit and vegetables. It may also include the odd fridge product such as cheese. (For this, you will need to bring with you an insulated cool bag & confirm that you are monitoring your fridge/freezer temperature at home).

A membership form needs to be completed and proof of address/ID needs to be provided, unless a recognised referral agent refers you to the scheme. Application forms can be requested via email. Members are required to keep up weekly membership by attending the Larder on a weekly basis and paying their membership fee. Failure to attend for three consecutive weeks may mean that your membership will be offered to someone on the waiting list.
