Members pay a small fee but can then access food that has been donated or bought with money raised by the scheme. She said: "Foodbanks provide free food to people who are struggling, whereas we want to lift people out of that hardship so they never get there."Marie Bryant, who is 47 and lives in Brackley, said "it's a joy" to have a local larder.
She said: "Money's very tight because we don't get the support we need, so to be able to get what we've got is amazing.Users of the larder are charged an annual fee of £10 and then pay either £5 or £10 for points, which can then be exchanged for food.
