The homegrown drought-aid group is also aiming to form a committee, register as a charity and access grants to help its work continue.

Founder Sue-Ellen Wilkin said it was a relief to have a new venue for the free food pantry; she would reveal where after the deal was official.

"It's not far from where we are and is going to catch a lot of traffic going out to the saleyards," she said.

"It's quite exciting."

She said Tamworth City Uniting Church - from where the grassroots group sprang - would cover the rent on the site.

And she was grateful to Tamworth Poly Tanks for providing a venue in recent months in Kingsford Smith St in Taminda.

"They now need their shed back and we're going to miss it terribly, but ... they have put us on the map this year because of the free rent for 12 months."

It won't be the first move for the "supermarket without the checkout", which started at the church before moving into vacant Peel Street shopfront, then to Taminda.

The group is now calling for volunteers for a fundraising committee of at least six people.

"We've been here so long and are getting so big, we're going to put in a registration for our charity so we might be able to get some grants and whatnot," Mrs Wilkin said.

"We want people from different backgrounds who can offer ... a lot of fresh ideas on things that might work better.

"One person can't think of everything, so the more we can mix it up a bit, the better."
