Lincoln Community Grocery stocks good food that would have gone to waste and makes it available for members for just £5 per shop. For that, they can fill their basket with fresh fruit and veg, pantry items, chilled and frozen food and toiletries.

Acts Trust launched Lincoln Community Grocery as a partnership with Alive Church, The Message Trust, and Lincoln Central Methodist Church. Since opening in October 2021, we’ve had an overwhelming response from local people who have described it as a place to find Hope.
