We collect fresh, safely edible foods like baked goods, fruit and vegetables from local businesses and re-distribute what would otherwise go to landfill or waste disposal.

We are open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 10am to 11.30am, though will close early if we run out of produce.

Anyone can come to the fridge to get food free of charge, to provide nourishing meals for themselves and their families.
