Jericho Pantry

Posted - February 10, 2023

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.

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. 
Free vegetable curry is also available in the cafe,

Did you know?

Who owns the houses?

In Jericho in 2011, only 21% of households were owner occupiers. Instead, many more people rented their homes: 58% from private landlords and 20% from ‘social’ landlords, mostly the City Council.

Why Jericho still has such a mix of houses?

Jericho's intriguing mix of housing today owes a lot, to the Residents' Association in the 1960s and 1970s which together with the then Vicar and some local councillors resisted plans to bulldoze the whole area and turn it over to offices and light industrial use.
