Central Dalkeith & Woodburn Pantry
Central Dalkeith & Woodburn Pantry is a local food initiative where any household in the Central Dalkeith and Woodburn area can sign up to a free membership and then do a weekly shop for £3.50, entitling them to 10 points to spend on groceries, with bakery items, pet food, period products and fresh fruit and vegetables provided free of charge. The Pantry operates from the MARC building at 10 Woodburn Road, and is open every Friday from 1.30pm to 5.30pm.
The Pantry was set up by passionate members of the local community in response to the cost of living crisis. We opened our doors in October 2022 and after only a few months of operation, we already have more than 200 members using the service.

Current opportunity
Central Dalkeith & Woodburn Pantry is a community-run food initiative, set up by members of the local community in response to the cost of living crisis. We provide an affordable weekly food shop to our members as well as free fruit and vegetables, period products, pet food and bakery items.
Our friendly team of volunteers is essential to the running of the Pantry in helping us to set up, move stock, greet our customers, operate the till, assist with shopping and packing, and tidy at the end of the day.
The Pantry operates from the MARC building at 10 Woodburn Road, and is open every Friday from 1.30pm to 5.30pm. We begin set-up at 9am on Friday morning and have several timeslots during the day which our volunteers can choose from to come and help out.
