Community fridge
Food for all
The Community Fridge is a joint initiative by Warwick Food Group, working in partnership with different departments across the University, to reduce food waste and make good-quality surplus food available to everyone in our community.
Anyone can use the fridge – no sign-up required.
What is a Community Fridge?
The Community Fridge exists to prevent food from going to waste by redistributing surplus food to people who can make use of it. We offer a variety of food items, all free of charge and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Whether you are looking to save money, reduce waste, or simply pick up something useful, the Community Fridge is open to all staff and students.
