North West Pantry FUNDING of more than £87,000 has been awarded to a Glasgow pantry to tackle food poverty and financial hardship within the local community. The North West Community Pantry, which will be run by Dumbarton Road Corridor’s youth project, has been awarded £87,367 from the town centre fund. It means the sixth and final shop at 2344 Dumbarton Road will be transformed into a thrifty store serving the residents of Yoker. Part of the money will be used to create a pop-up shop at Summerston which will operate once a week.
