Feeding Bellies not bins.
The first community fridge in Kiveton & Wales was launched back in October last year, helping to tackle food waste and supporting those who might need extra help to access food.
Set up by local people with support from The Co-op and others will be open to anyone in the community who would like to donate food or have access to it.
The community fridge is open to everyone in the community – without any need to be referred or having to prove eligibility – to access fresh food that would otherwise have gone to waste. The food is donated by businesses, with the Co-op donating surplus food from its stores.
The fridge, which can be found at the Old Colliery Offices, Kiveton park, will be open Monday – Thurs 9am -3pm & Friday 9am -2pm to enable residents and local businesses to share surplus food and for anyone to help themselves to quality food that would otherwise be wasted. Donations of unopened, packaged foods within their use-by date and raw fruit or vegetables are also welcome from anyone who would like to donate them.
