A weekly project to tackle food poverty in the community has reached a major milestone.

Everton in the Community set up Blue Base Pantry in June 2022 with Fans Supporting Foodbanks, St Andrew's Community Network, and Your Local Pantry.

It provides about 160 people with low-priced foods a week.

As the Blue Base Pantry held its 100th weekly session, one user said they would be "lost" without it.

The service also includes benefits and housing advice as well as a swap shop for clothes.

The initiative follows on from Everton's Blue Family campaign, which supported over 29,000 individuals and families with urgent support during the pandemic.
