A Conger Hill Trust project
Toddington Community Fridge
Good food, shared locally. We collect surplus food that would otherwise go to waste and make it available to the community.
About the project
Reducing food waste and helping good food go further.
Toddington Community Fridge is not a food bank. It is a community food redistribution service, open to everyone. By making surplus food available locally, we reduce waste while helping household budgets stretch further.

Chilled food
When available, this can include dairy products, prepared foods and other suitable chilled items handled within our food safety procedures.
How it works
Collected, checked and redistributed by volunteers.
