From fridge to fridge
1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Kingston Foodbank in Kingston upon Thames.
- Monday, 8th of January 2024
- Led by Kingston upon Thames runner
First cleanup session of the new year and the 2 other volunteers couldn't make it to the Community Fridge today. Thankfully one of the distribution team was on hand to help with the rubbish and crates whilst the clearing of boxes and other cleaning jobs were completed. Once the laundry was dropped in the drier it was time to brave the cold temperatures outside again.
Merton’s Community Fridge is a long-term initiative to tackle food poverty and reduce food waste in the borough. It's essentially a big fridge where fresh surplus food is donated and redistributed to the community.
Core volunteers help with the food distribution 3 times a week and others stop by for the set up or cleanup so there are plenty of jobs to do.
