Poets Pantry is a food club in Podsmead, which collects food from supermarkets and other organisations in Gloucester which is then made available for people in the community.

The pantry opens three times a week and offers residents the opportunity to buy a pre-filled bag with a selection of fresh and packaged food for £3. The volunteers are also on hand to help anyone who is struggling to pay for their bag with emergency food support. Poets Pantry is managed by Blackbridge CCBS.
