LINTON Shire Hall tenants Linton Community Inc have officially opened their new Community Pantry spaces, with the ribbon cut by Federal Member for Ballarat Catherine King.<\/p>\n

The Pantry\u2019s Kylie Turville said the initiative is now based in the old nurse\u2019s and waiting rooms, with lots of storage and refrigeration, and will be open at least five days a week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have fantastic shelves which the council have left behind and spaces for fruit and veggies, so it feels a lot more welcoming,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can have a much larger number of products in an easily accessible space on supermarket-style shelves, and the fridge is a big thing for us because we could never offer butter and cheese before.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Linton Pantry now has larger and private spaces out of the Shire Hall\u2019s entryway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all self-service as we\u2019re very big on people being able to be anonymous. People can take what they need, and pay what they can, and we\u2019re setting up our second room for confidential talks around issues they\u2019re having with food and money.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pantry originally launched six years ago in a former town caf\u00e9 and moved to the Shire Hall\u2019s atrium temporarily just before the pandemic. Warren Bowen and Bennita Hough were its founders.<\/p>\n

Ms Turville said the Pantry is fully self-funded, however they sometimes receive Shire grants to action bigger projects.<\/p>\n

Ms King highlighted food insecurity as a big issue throughout the Ballarat electorate and for that reason, said pantries like Linton\u2019s are key to small communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
