A community fridge is a space that brings people together to share food, meet up, learn new skills and prevent fresh food from going to waste. They\u2019re open to all and anyone can share or take food, including 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. There are over 600 fridges across the UK (and counting). <\/span><strong>Would you like to be part of our growing volunteer community bringing solution in this time of food crisis? Meet every Monday from 10am to prep a range of light meals, soups, sandwiches &amp; snacks for the community fridge. Interested?
