Introducing Our Community Fridge: Reducing Food Waste, Sharing Resources

At Preston Community Hub, we are proud to introduce our Community Fridge - a groundbreaking initiative aimed at reducing food waste and fostering a culture of sharing and resourcefulness within our community.

What is the Community Fridge?

Surplus food donated by local businesses, individuals, and organizations. Instead of letting perfectly good food go to waste, we redistribute it to those in need, creating a sustainable solution that benefits everyone.

The Community Fridge serves as a bridge between food donors and individuals facing food insecurity. It offers a safe and accessible space where anyone can access fresh produce, dairy products, baked goods, and more - for a small fee. By sharing these resources, we can ensure that no one in our community goes hungry while also tackling the issue of food waste.

Our Community Fridge is not just about providing food—it's about promoting community engagement, fostering connections, and reducing our environmental footprint. It encourages individuals and businesses to think sustainably and make conscious choices to minimize waste.

How does it work?

Local businesses and individuals kindly donate surplus food that is still safe for consumption but would otherwise go to waste. Our dedicated team carefully inspects and organizes the donations, making sure they meet strict food safety standards. Anyone in the community on benefits or those who are sturggling are welcome to visit the Community Fridge during its operating hours and take what they need.

We believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, regardless of their financial circumstances. The Community Fridge is a powerful tool for addressing food insecurity, promoting food equality, and building a more resilient and compassionate community.

We invite you to be a part of this transformative initiative. If you're a business or individual interested in donating food to the Community Fridge, we welcome your contributions. Together, we can make a significant impact by reducing food waste, supporting those in need, and creating a more sustainable future for all.
