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.
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,

Where the community centre came from?
The centre was built at the end of the 19th century as the Church Institute for St. Barnabas.
Margaret Thatcher used to live here?
In her Oxford days, she lived at 12 Richmond Road. It is alleged she shared the house with two red-hot communists who lived on a diet of sausages. This may account for her later views on socialists and known dislike of sausages.
