🥔FRENCH FRY GIVE-AWAY UPDATE! 🥔
A massive thank you to everyone who came out to the Cole Harbour Community Fridge’s second FREE French Fry Give-Away event!
We were so grateful to be able to share 324 x 6lb bags of frozen French fries with our community …. Yummmmmm!! That’s OVER an incredible 1,900 POUNDS OF FRIES that went out to our neighbours!
😲🥔🍟
We couldn’t make events like this happen without an awesome group of people who care about getting food into our community and onto people’s tables.
A very special thank you to:
♥️🍟♥️Jacky Peverill, Community Food Truck Coordinator with JustFOOD, for the delivery and massive effort helping with lifting all of those boxes in the hot afternoon sun
♥️🍟♥️Julia Kemp and all of the fabulous folks at Second Harvest who work hard to rescue good food and help get it out into communities
♥️🍟♥️All of our amazing volunteers who showed up and helped make it happen
♥️🍟♥️And, of course, everyone who came out to pick up fries and even offered to deliver and share bags with their friends/family/neighbours too!!
We hope those fries are enjoyed. Food is for everyone and it is meant to be shared!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

🍟 Frozen French-Fry Free Give-away! 🍟
We are stoked to be able to announce another free frozen French fry give-away, with thanks to our incredible friends at Second Harvest who rescue good food and help get it into communities where it’s needed most and the Halifax Community Food Truck, we’ve been offered another HUGE donation of frozen French Fries!
We just can’t say no to the awesome offer of free food but as with the last time, we really don’t have space to store this many bags of frozen fries so we’re running another French-Fry Give-away event, a lil fun community giveaway and food drive.
Here’s the plan:
Come by the Cole Harbour Community Fridge on Friday, August 20th between 5pm and 7pm to pick up some frozen fries, while supplies last.
If you’re able and wish to, you are welcome to bring:
🥫 Food donations to swap/trade for fries
💰 A financial contribution to help keep the Community Fridge stocked and running.
You absolutely do NOT have to donate anything at all to attend. Just bring your awesome self. We’d love to see and want you to get some free frozen potatoes!
📍 Where: Cole Harbour Community Fridge
915 Cole Harbour Road (CH Rd and Otago)
🕒 When: Thursday, August 20, 2026
We will start unloading and giving away when our delivery arrives at about 5:00pm until 7:00pm or until we run out.
Depending on the turnout and what is delivered, we may need to limit the number of bags per household so that we can share the potato wealth.
We think that the bags of fries are bigger this time (6lbs) and in clear bags.
Come by and see us, grab some fries, say hello, support if you’re able, and help us make sure this generous donation doesn’t go to waste. 🍟
Hope to see you on our second Frozen French-Fry Free Give-away.
*NOTE: limits may be required, only available for pick-up during designated time/date, while supplies last*
