aboutus
The Otley Community Larder is a project that rescues surplus food from supermarkets, wholesalers, and local producers — good food that would otherwise go to waste — and makes it available to everyone, on a pay-as-you-feel basis. We’re not a food bank. There are no referrals, no criteria — just an open invitation to enjoy food, reduce waste, and support each other with dignity.
Volunteer
We’re always looking for volunteers! Whether you’re looking for something light or more active, there are ways to get involved every day of the week — not just when we’re open.
We ask for volunteers to give a few hours a week, to help keep the larder running, and be involved in developing projects.
If you'd like to help, please fill out our application form.
Request Food
You can request for food for local community events, groups, and activities. Whether you could do with some light snacks, or you're making meals for others, we might be able to help.
We require at least 2 weeks notification of any food requests, this is so we can organise our volunteers and stock.
We accept donations for the food provided, all on a pay as you feel basis. All proceeds go back into the project.
Donate your surplus
You can bring us your unwanted, unopened items! Additionally, we encourage local growers and gardeners to bring us any surplus they have, so we can share it with the community. We accept most items, but if you're unsure, contact Jade on 07395759303 or email larder@otley2030.com
