Community Fridge
A community fridge is a way of distributing food to everyone.
A Community Fridge is a space that brings people together to eat, connect, learn new skills and reduce food waste.
Fridges are run by community groups in shared spaces such as schools, community centres and shops, their main purpose is saving fresh food from going to waste.
It is a site where local people can share food, this includes surplus from supermarkets, local food businesses, producers, households and gardens. Fridges are run by community groups in shared spaces such as schools, community centres and shops, their main purpose is saving fresh food from going to waste.
People donate food that is close to its ‘use by’ date that they know they won’t use.
We are also happy to accept donations of fruit and vegetables from allotment holders and/or local shops. Businesses can also donate food that they cannot sell, but it must be fresh and close to its ‘use by’ date.
Anyone can donate or take food, this is not a food bank all food is free of charge.
The fridge will have a signing in and out sheet so that the volunteers running the fridge can keep a track of what is going in and out of the fridge to ensure everything stays safe to eat.
The Community Fridge Network is coordinated by Hubbub and it connects fridges across the UK.
