Community Fridges are registered places where surplus food is shared with the local community, by businesses and individuals. So far they've helped thousands connect to their communities, access nutritious food, save money and reduce waste. Frequently Asked Questions: WHO CAN USE THE FOREST ROW COMMUNITY FRIDGE? We welcome absolutely everybody into the community fridge to collect food. We want to reduce food waste, and you can help with that by taking what you need. You do not have to be based in Forest Row, if you can make it to the fridge during our opening hours, you are welcome. DO I HAVE TO PAY? No. It is completely free to take food for all. But if you can make a donation- we would be extremely grateful. These donations go towards our running costs. HOW DO I COLLECT FOOD? Come to the fridge during our open hours, have a look in the fridges and shelves. Take what you will eat and is a fair share. Please ask volunteers for guidance on how much you can take. Once you have what you need, weigh the food and log it out. The volunteers will help you. Weighing the food means that we can log how much food we are saving. We don't take any names or information about you. We ask you to please not open the the fridges or move products unless you will take them. This helps us ensure allergens stay within certain areas in the fridges. IS THE FRIDGE ONLY FOR THOSE IN NEED? It is not only for those in need, the fridge is open for everybody!
