St Thomas Community Fridge is now open thanks to funding from Hubbub and the Co-op. The fridge is now located in St Thomas Parish Church, 54 Cowick St, as the library has closed. It is open when the church is open Monday – Friday 10am – 3pm. Community fridges are places where local people can share free food, this includes surplus from supermarkets, local food businesses, producers, households and gardens. We have been getting regular donations from Exeter Food Action, The Grocer on the Green, St Thomas Community Garden, Shillingford Organics and local Co-op stores. If you have surplus fruit and veg from your allotment or garden, or have food you won’t eat, e.g. if you’re going on holiday, you can put it in the fridge. NB we only accept fruit & veg and vegan foods, which are clearly labelled. We can’t take anything past its use by date or any opened packets. We still need more volunteers to collect food for the fridge and check the contents, so please get in touch if you could help on a weekly basis for about 1 hour. Fill in our volunteer form here.
