Ashburton Community Fridge reduces food waste by making surplus food freely available to all residents of the town. Open 24/7.

Volunteers regularly collect and monitor fresh stock from supermarkets, shops, wholesalers and growers.

The Fridge is very full and will be refilled a few times today, despite the rain. So put your waterproofs on and come on down. Lots of ready meals, bakery etc.

We're still looking for help collecting food on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons: this can be one of our biggest collections and we really need a few more people who could commit to doing this, maybe once a month. If you have a reasonably sized car, can lift boxes of food and have time on a Tuesday or Thursday afternoon, please get in touch by email: [email protected].
Fuel expenses are paid (collection is in Exeter).

Tomatillos - still some in the Fridge. Here's a recipe of what you can make with them. Made some yesterday - delicious!

Our easy tomatillo salsa verde recipe made with roasted tomatillos is bright, zesty, slightly smoky, and makes everything taste better.

So great to see so many people enjoying the Food Festival yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came and bought jams and chutneys from us! And of course thank you to all those who made them and manned the stall.

We made an incredible £877! 🎉🎉🎉

That's enough to pay our volunteers fuel costs for several months!

Thank you so much to the FareShare South West Plymouth warehouse team who have filled our fridge with such amazing food over the last month, ensuring it was eaten rather than sent to landfill.

Hope you've enjoyed it Ashburton! 😊

The Food Festival is coming up. Look for us on Saturday 12th September on Cleder Place (near the play park) where we will once again be selling our delicious jams, preserves and chutneys, lovingly made by volunteers from surplus produce collected lovingly by other volunteers. Come and support us by buying a few jars to help pay for our running costs!
