The Halifax Community Fridge, is open daily enabling residents and businesses to share surplus food and for anyone to help themselves to quality food that would otherwise be wasted. Unlike food banks, the Halifax Community Fridge is not means-tested - it is available to anyone. It is also discreetly situated and avoids any stigma its users may otherwise feel. The Halifax Community Fridge launched in August 2020, and has remained open every-single-day since. We are open 365-days-a-year, and are a lifeline for up to 100 families each day. No questions are asked, everyone is welcome. Working alongside Neighbourly has enabled us to support our towns local supermarkets in drastically reducing their carbon footprint and food wastage, which in-turn has stopped our community from going to sleep hungry. The work of the Halifax Community Fridge extends beyond free food and drink, everything we do is free to the community that we love to serve. We offer free winter coats, free sanitary packs for females, free pet food to owners and pets in need, free household items to support families in need and so much more We feature regularly in local and national media, showing the incredible work of the community fridge project and how it has brought our community together. In doing so, we have redistributed millions of items of food and drink back into our local community. Our work is spreading across the U.K., in supporting other Mosques and organisations in setting-up their own community fridges and serve their diverse communities, we are in the process of supporting around 20 organisations to support different communities across the country, examples are provided: Birmingham Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/67aa5fc339570a98e11db096 JTI Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/658465f445476114d40756b2 Keighley Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/6783c6ef823a3f527caa5fd1 Ashton Community Fridge: https://www.neighbourly.com/project/66df7367c6579d8b4c3cce1a Here’s some recent links from the media regarding our work: https://www.calderdalechildcare.org.uk/kb5/calderdale/fsd/service.page?id=aeQeVWscSc8 https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/award-for-halifax-mosque-project-which-is-a-lifeline-for-towns-most-vulnerable-4886288 https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/halifax-community-fridge-national-award-for-halifax-pharmacist-hero-who-goes-above-and-beyond-4285769 https://www.halifaxcourier.co.uk/news/people/halifax-community-fridge-the-selfless-volunteers-who-have-been-out-every-day-for-1000-days-feeding-halifaxs-hungry-4123860 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-leeds-56201351 https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/free-food-fridge-halifax-bringing-20600051.amp

Homeless Not Hopeless is a voluntary organisation established in December 2019. The organisation is run by founder Matt alongside a committed team of trustees and volunteers, all with different backgrounds and expertise. ▸ What We Do ◂ Our volunteers run an outreach service from Bradford Forster Square Arches at 7pm every Wednesday and the first and third Saturday of the month. Our team serve food and hand out clothing, toiletries and necessities to the homeless and less fortunate every week, as well as providing a food bank service. We love having a chat and are available to signpost people to relevant organisations. Whether it's a hot meal, warm clothing or just a friendly face, we are on hand to help and support people in need - no referral needed, no questions asked. Be it through anger or compassion, our determination comes from the injustice that is homelessness in 21st Century Britain. Everybody should have a place to live. ▸ How You Can Help ◂ We are seeing increasing numbers of service users every week, with sometimes over 100 people coming to see us on some outreach evenings. We are looking for tinned and fresh produce close to their best before dates for our food bank service at outreach. We are happy to collect from the Skipton, Keighley and Bradford area every Wednesday afternoon/evening or Saturday afternoons (first and third of the month).
