Lucie’s Pantry is our social supermarket located at the Old Post Office on Dean Road in South Shields.
It provides a sustainable and affordable source of food and household essentials to members of the local community struggling to make ends meet through debt, illness or low income. With the generous help from members of the community we’re providing great food and resources for great people and having a positive effect on the environment by reducing food waste through the redistribution of food surplus.
