Throughout the pandemic, many museums have worked within their local communities to support those in need. During this time, nearly six million adults and 1.7 million children were struggling to get enough food, and there was a 126% increase in emergency food parcels.
In November 2021, the Kids in Museums Youth Panel heard from the Rochdale Pioneers Museum about how they collaborated with local partners to develop a community food share scheme called The Pioneer Pantry. The panel learned about how the museum has used a sustainable model to enable people to access food affordably.
