Community Fridge
Fresh food for everyone, reducing waste together in Llanyrafon
The fridge is closed today. Next opening: Tuesday at 10am.
What is Our Community Fridge?
Reduces Waste
We rescue perfectly good food from major supermarkets that would otherwise be wasted and make it available to our community.
Supports Community
Provides fresh produce, bread, dairy, and other essentials to local families who need it most.
Everyone Welcome
No questions asked, no judgment. Our community fridge is open to everyone who needs fresh food.
Our community fridge is a vital resource that bridges the gap between food surplus and community need. Operating almost daily from our home at Llanyrafon Methodist Church, we make a significant contribution to reducing food waste while supporting local families.
