Firstly, we are looking for volunteers, who hate wasting food and want to help Pape Village community. We need to build a suitable closet for the fridge with a pantry.
Secondly, we are trying to reach out to businesses on North end of Pape who could offer a home for a community fridge. All businesses are welcome to donate their surplus food.
Thirdly, we are looking for a working fridge suitable for a community fridge.
A Community Fridge is a refrigerator located in a public space. It enables food to be shared within a community, as anyone can put food in and take food out. The main aim of Community Fridges is to reduce food waste. They also enable people facing hardship to have easy access to fresh, nutritious food.

If you have any UNWANTED food of which the package is unopened or opened and is still good to consume, please let us know.
Or if you have products at home of which the BEST BEFORE date has passed, contact us.
Do not forget produce (fruits, vegetables, herbs etc.)
The more you have to give at once, the better.
Thank you for reducing food waste! We look forward to hearing from you :)
Great opportunity to go though your pantry, fridge or basement for donating any unwanted food.
Food is not garbage and many people are in need, so please share instead of trashing.
Some tips how to save food at home:
*Ripe bananas make excellent smoothie and banana bread.
*Limp celery stalks will be crunchy again if put to a water filled sealed box and kept in fridge.
*Soft tomatoes make many excellent meals - tomato sauces, soups etc.
*Offer neighbour if you have extra.
