Pop-Up Pantries in Local Schools

We run pop-up Pantries in three local primary schools to support families experiencing financial pressure.

These Pantries:

  • Are for parents / carers of children and for staff attending that school
  • Operate termtime only
  • Follow the same ethos and rules as the Church Pantry
    • for people in genuine need
    • up to 10 item guideline
    • dignity, choice and respect

When and where?

  • Rustington Community Primary - Tuesday mornings (8:30am - 9:00am)
  • Georgian Gardens Primary School - Thursday mornings (8:30am - 9:30am)
  • Summerlea Primary School - Thursday afternoons (2:15pm - 2:45pm)

This helps families access support privately and conveniently within their school community.

For the past two years, Georgian Gardens Pop-Up Pantry has received a grant from Rustington Parish Council to help purchase food, ensuring that every family who attends has the staple items needed to make both a breakfast and a main meal.

This ongoing support helps us offer consistency, dignity and reliable choices to families who are facing financial pressure.

Using One Pantry

To make sure support is shared fairly, families are asked to use one Pantry only.
If you use one of the school popup Pantries, please do not attend the Church Pantry.

This helps us ensure that food reaches as many households in genuine need as possible, and it keeps things simple and supportive for everyone.
