The Gamlingay Food Project

Sandy, UK

The Gamlingay Food Project exists to reduce food waste as well as feed those who are in need. The Gamlingay Food Project has two strands: The Community Fridge: Here, we take food waste from local shops (Co-Op, M&S, NISA, Sainsbury's, and others) and we provide them for free to anyone who would like, in order to reduce food wasted. The Community Fridge is open Monday-Friday. The Need Project Hub(Gamlingay): Run in partnership with the Need Project in Bedfordshire, we provide food parcels for all those in need who are referred (or self referred to us). For this, we take donations of non-perishable goods, and distribute to households across our area. The Gamlingay Food Project is a partnership betwen Gamlingay Baptist Church and St Mary the Virgin Church in Gamlingay. It is run entirely by community volunteers from all walks of life.
