🌿 A friendly reminder from Sustainable Stoneham 🌿

Thank you to everyone who uses, donates to and looks after our community fridge. It only works because of your kindness!

To keep things fair for every household that relies on it, we’re asking everyone to only take one standard sized carrier bag per household, per day.

This isn’t about limiting anyone in genuine need. It’s about making sure there’s something on the shelves for everyone who comes along. Every item is donated in good faith, and taking more than your share can mean someone else finds the fridge empty.

Thank you for helping us keep it fair, sustainable and available for those who need it most. 💚

Take what you need, leave what you can.

🎉🎉 WE’VE HIT 30 TONNES! 🎉🎉

30,053kg OF FOOD SAVED FROM WASTE! 🥳

Since opening in April 2023, our Community Fridge has redistributed an incredible 30,053kg of surplus food, saving it from potentially ending up in landfill!

That’s over 30 TONNES of perfectly good food given a second chance rather than going to waste!

But just how much is 30 tonnes? Well, to put that into perspective, it’s roughly the same weight as…

🐘 5 adult African elephants
🦛 20 hippopotamuses
🦏 15 white rhinoceroses
🦒 30 giraffes
🐼 300 giant pandas

That’s a LOT of food!

But behind this incredible milestone are some equally impressive numbers.

🚗 5,412 supermarket collections made by our volunteers to rescue surplus food.
⏰ 2,462 volunteer hours generously donated to keep the fridge running. That’s the equivalent of more than 102 full days!

Every single bit of this has been achieved by our amazing team of volunteers, giving up their own time completely free of charge. From heading out to supermarkets to collect surplus food, often at the end of a long day, to stocking the shelves, cleaning the fridge and making sure everything runs smoothly, there’s an enormous amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. What started in April 2023 as a simple idea to tackle food waste has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of.

💚 To our amazing volunteers: THANK YOU!

2,462 hours of your own time is an extraordinary contribution to your community. Without your dedication, generosity and commitment, none of this would have been possible.

A huge thank you also goes to our supermarket partners, YMCA Eastleigh and everyone who has supported and used the fridge over the last three and a half years.

And remember, our Community Fridge is for EVERYONE! It’s not a food bank. It’s about reducing food waste, sharing surplus food and making sure perfectly good food doesn’t go to waste.

30,053kg of food. 5,412 collections. 2,462 volunteer hours. One incredible community. ❤️

Here’s to the next 30 tonnes! 🥳

A shout out to the lovely - and very tall - Leon. Who, when this volunteer contrived to b**g her hoodie - with car keys in the pocket - though the sunroof and into the footwell, was easily able to rescue both hoodie, keys, and volunteer, with nothing more than a chair, a litter picker - and jolly long arms !
Not all heroes wear capes!
