The cost of living crisis is hitting many of us in Harrogate & Knaresborough and sometimes there isn’t enough food in the fridge to get you through. Fortunately there are plenty of support services locally who can help. If we’ve missed any then please let us know here– listings on this page are completely free.
Monday – Saturday 8:15 – 9:00 am
(Last orders taken at 8:45 am.)
We have approximately 14 volunteers, working on a rota basis, serving hot drinks, fruit juice, cereals, home made broth, and our speciality, poached egg on a cheese and ham toastie. Bread is provided by Betty’s and we also receive food from Sainsbury’s.
The Breakfast club is free.
Our members, who change all the time, can number up to 24 on any morning, and the fellowship, discussion, fun and laughter are as important as the food.

Our community groceries offer an affordable way for individuals and families to access good quality food. Not only does this help you to save money, it also means you’re helping the environment by stopping good quality food going to landfill.
Our food comes from supermarkets and other suppliers which might otherwise have to throw it away.
The community groceries are run through a subscription scheme and are for people who are in financial hardship. For a small annual fee, you can have access to the shop and pay a very low rate for whatever you buy. It costs just a fraction of a normal supermarket shop and it saves thousands of tonnes of food from going to landfill every week.
