JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
The main purpose of the Pantry is to make food that would otherwise be thrown away accessible to people who live locally who can make use of it.
Everyone is welcome to come along and help themselves to whatever they can use and/or take items for neighbours who may find it difficult to collect them.
The Jericho Pantry is a collaboration between the Oxford Food Hub, JCA and St Barnabas Church and is made possible by the volunteer Community Ambassadors who give their time to run it.
St Barnabas Church is open for dry goods on Thursdays at 2-4pm and Sundays 12-2pm.
The Jericho Community Centre is open on Tuesdays, at 5.30 -6.30. (please enter through the café door)
This session includes both dry goods, tinned and fresh items and a free cup of tea or coffee when you arrive.

About the church bells?
Originally the Church only had the single ‘Barney’s Bell’. In 1890, when the clock was installed, it was decided to add a set of tubular bells to ring the chimes and the hour strike, as well as a tune or ‘carillon’. The are driven by an elaborate mechanical contraption.
The origins of Walton?
Walton is derived from "wall town" which was used centuries ago to indicate a location outside the Oxford city walls. The ancient manor of Walton was certainly in existence before the Norman conquest in 1066.
