Food Support in Edinburgh

Food pantries

A food pantry gives community members access to healthy, low-cost food, including fresh fruit and veg, frozen and chilled food, meat and dairy products, and long-life tinned and packaged food. 

You don't need to be referred to become a member of a food pantry. Instead, members pay a small subscription fee of a few pounds a week, and in return can choose groceries worth many times more.

Pantries are just like a shop, in that you choose the food you want from the shelves.

Find your local food pantry from the list further down or the map below. 

How to use the map: 

  • Green pins: Click on a green pin to locate a pantry near you. 
  • Red pins: Click on a red pin to find your local food bank. 
  • Blue pins: Food provision locations are marked with blue pins. 

Clicking on any pin will display detailed information about the selected pantry, food bank or food provision location.
