There for we would be very grateful to receive food and non food items that we can distribute according to need of our famillies.

I have recently opened a Community Fridge which I run from my house. It is a new shed that contains a fridge, freezer and shelving so we can store foods correctly that can be used by the local people in our village and surrounding areas. I work closely with other local businesses in the village too. All the services I provide are free. Before Christmas my children and a couple of volunteers made up food boxes and delivered these to around 50 houses in our local village which everyone appreciated. We have around 100-150 people drop by each week that take the food, and certainly a demand for it in our area. We have a parish magazine that I was mentioned in last month and this next month now my shed is fully open(we’ve had a new tarmac drive) so had to just adjust and work round this!) they have written a piece about me to go in Aprils edition. Here are some photos attached of the shed and my little boy helping me in his wheel chair deliver the food boxes before Xmas. Also a photo of me with all the potatoes we saved from sainsburys before Xmas when the other charities were closed so they asked me if I could take them. Another photo attached of inside my shed with the fridge and freezer and the shelving - currently empty but will be full of bread later!

Northwich Community Support operate a no food waste initiative with the option to provide additional support to those who may need it. The mix of people who visit is diverse. For some it helps prop up their finances. For others it’s a way to be greener. Less food waste = less landfill. We are staffed entirely by amazing but unpaid volunteers. Its something I’m proud to be part of and I consider volunteers and visitors to each hub to be part of our growing community of mutual support. We currently operate 3 weekly hubs in separate locations where donated food items are distributed to the community.
