Next to the bustling Baltic Market is a new lifeline for people struggling to put food on the table.
Stepping into Liverpool Community Grocery on the grounds of Hillsong Church on Mann Street is similar to walking into a local farmers market. An array of fresh fruit and vegetables in rustic crates are on display, alongside bakery items such as bread and cakes and also a variety of shelf and canned items.
However these items will cost a fraction of the price compared to a local supermarket. People, who would otherwise find it hard to put food on the table for their families, can do a large food shop for £4 per visit, up to three times a week, by signing up to the community grocery shop and paying an annual fee of £5.
