Eastleigh Community Fridge, Eastleigh
Eastleigh, UK
We're a local church running a community fridge with the Blackbird Cafe, Pavilion on the Park, in Eastleigh. It's a place to share food that would otherwise go to waste and to help people who are struggling to buy food in the cost of living crisis. It's free to take food but a donation can be made towards the running costs.
