​History
St Anne's Pantry is a Porirua Food Bank initiated by Vicar Jonathon Boyes and church member Pat Higham as the Porirua Anglican Cooperative Trust (PACT) in 1984. In 1989 PACT was re-titled St Anne's Pantry and Jean Stratford took leadership until her death c.2005. In 2001, on Jean's watch, 3,000 people received food through 800 food parcels - an average of 16 per week.

St Anne's Pantry was led subsequently by Rev'd. Esme Collins and a Parish team. During the past decade the Pantry was facilitated by Diane Stuart and Val Grace supported by their husbands, until the end of 2019.

​Current Pantry Facilitators are Sofia Ali and Margaret Alve.

St Anne's Pantry continues as a ministry of the Porirua Anglican Parish which centres on St Anne's Church, Arawhata Street, Ranui, Porirua.

Creating a Food Secure Future for Porirua and New Zealand

St Anne's Pantry seeks to provide food security for Porirua and Linden Households by promptly delivering to households emergency food parcels to help alleviate crisis situations. While we seek to empower householders with some choices about what food they prefer our emphasis is quick response using rescued food from Kiwi Community Assistance, food donations from a variety of others and some purchased food items.

St Anne's Pantry Leaders recognise that there are other local agencies who also address the challenge of providing a food secure future for the People of Porirua and Linden in other, complementary ways. We are part of a collective of such agencies who consult together to address food security issues collaboratively.

On this page we provide info about some of these agencies.

HOW FOOD SECURE ARE YOU?
In terms of the graphic above St Anne's Pantry seeks to be responsive at the 2nd orange and red food insecurity levels.

Picture
During the Covid-19 Levels 3 & 4 lockdown Porirua City Council Staff operated the Porirua Emergency Operation Centre that oversaw the distribution of 100's of Food Parcels into Porirua City. St Anne's Pantry were among those who assisted this operation. Subsequently Council Staff and other stakeholders, including us, are reviewing this experience and are planning to improve food security in Porirua during emergency scenarios as well as when things are more normal.
We are also part of a forum of Wellington City interested parties including the Wellington City Council, who strive and work to create a food secure future.
