JERICHO COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION
Jericho Pantry
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.
Free vegetable curry is also available in the cafe,

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.
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.
