Exeter Community Fridge

We rescue surplus food from supermarkets across the city and give it away to all via a publicly accessible fridge in Exeter Library in order to reduce food waste.
As above. We need volunteers to pick up surplus food from designated businesses and drop it off at the Community Fridge. Quantities of food can vary but we will aim to match individual volunteers to particular pick-ups. Pick-ups are usually in the morning and the fridge is open during library opening hours. We are primarily a sustainability initiative.

10 GoodGymers have supported Exeter Community Fridge with 96 tasks.

Life is like a box of vegetables

Written by Exeter runner

This week at the community fridge there was lots of veg from one supermarket and 4 apples from another! That's the way it goes on community fridge run, you never know what you're going to get! The food was appreciated by the group of regulars to the library.

Yes, we have no bananas!

Saturday 22nd June

Written by Exeter runner

2 runners collected waste food from local supermarkets to share at the community fridge. This was the first week in ages without a massive box of bananas to carry! Instead there were bakery goods and veg - all appreciated by those making use of the community fridge.

One runner (me!) collected bakery goods and bananas that had met their best before date from the local supermarket and shared them with the community fridge. There were lots of bananas and I had to make 3 trips to carry them all!
