Knaphill Community Fridge, wasting less through the sharing of good quality food

Woking, UK

Food & drink saved at Knaphill Community Fridge 2025 is 80,223 kilos! Thank you for supporting us throughout the year. A Community Fridge is a fridge into which anyone can put food, and from which anyone can take food. It will aim to utilise the redundant source of food in Knaphill, Brookwood and surrounding area whilst raising awareness of food waste issues and the impact on the environment. It will enable us to share our abundance, minimise waste and source free food that would otherwise be thrown away. It helps us support local businesses by collecting their surplus food and making available to the community. The average UK family wastes £470 a year by throwing away food and drink which could have been eaten, and £3 billion is wasted by food sectors. Despite growing awareness of food waste, there are few easy ways for people or businesses to get food near its 'sell by' date to others. (Source:Hubbub)

100 hours for People and the Planet

We're setting a goal of 100 hours of volunteering to support our Planet and People Positive ambitions. As part of taking 100 hours for the planet, we're offering our Starbucks Support Centre partners the opportunity to volunteer virtually. From offering your marketing and social media support to help a city farm, or helping create a business plan to develop a local community garden, there is something for everyone to give back to the communities we serve.

Starbucks Global Month of Giving 2021

At Starbucks our mission is to inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person, one cup and one neighbourhood at a time. We’ve always believed in making a positive impact in the communities we serve and Starbucks partners have done a brilliant job at making a difference to their local neighbourhoods. With April now upon us, we look forward to bringing partners and charities together to help make our communities stronger as part of our Global Month of Good (GMOG). As we continue to face challenging times with restrictions in place and can’t offer support in our usual ways this year, we are looking to provide different opportunities to give back.

Starbucks Community Café

Our stores are donating essential items to communities who have set up their own hubs and cafés. We're helping groups across the nation to grow vibrant spaces where local people can meet, chat and enjoy refreshments in their own neighbourhoods.

Starbucks Cheer for Good

In 2017 during the festive season, Starbucks supported 210 more community charities with a donation and the chance to raise their profile. Thousands of people across Great Britain felt inspired to lend a cheer for their local cause.
