Helping the Community with Beacon Boxes and the Pantry
There are two schemes in the area to help those in need. Please give generously.
The Pantry
The Pantry is a community led share provision held in boxes at the back of St. Mary’s, Sticklepath. Drop off food, cleaning items and toiletries. If you need something, collect it, no questions asked. Open in daylight hours all year round.

Beacon Boxes
Beacon Boxes are Christmas Gift Boxes for families in Okehampton and Surrounding Areas. Individuals, families or groups can donate a whole bag or box or just a few items. They will be distributed by Okehampton Food Bank. Items can be dropped off at Belstone Village Hall on 14th December 8am-11.30, or can be collected by arrangement. For more details see PDF below:
