Littlehampton Community Fridge
The Littlehampton Community Fridge is the first (hopefully of many!) to be set up as part of the West Sussex Community Fridge Network.
Community Fridges exist to reduce food waste and foster a spirit of sharing and mutual support within a community. They are often open more regularly and offer a source of fresh good quality food surplus for everyone. In many cases, the most frequent items moving through the fridge are fruit and veg. They operate on a trust basis and are not means-tested.
Our opening hours at St James are found below:
- Who can come? Anyone (yes anyone!)
- What can I get? 5 items plus bread (per adult per day)
- What does it cost? Nothing, it is all rescued and needs a home to stop it being wasted
