PUBLIC DONATIONS
Donations from the general public are very much accepted - please just pop them in when passing. Please bear in mind there is a list that cannot be accepted. These include:
• Homemade or Cooked Foods: Meals prepared in a private home (e.g., leftovers, home-baked cakes, or casseroles) because they are from unregistered/unregulated sources.
• UNSEALED Raw Meat and Fish: To avoid the risk of juice leakage and bacterial contamination.
• Unpasteurized Products: Raw milk and raw milk cheeses (unpasteurized)
• Cooked Rice
• Pâtés and Bean Sprouts
• Unlabelled Items
• Opened or Damaged Packaging
• Expired Items: Foods past their "Use By" date must never be donated.
Note: We may accept items slightly past their "Best Before" date if they are still of good quality, but "Use By" is a hard safety limit.
Restricted Non-Food Items
• Alcohol and Energy Drinks: These are prohibited as they are not suitable for children who may access the fridge.
• Medications and Supplements: Prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicine, and vitamins are not allowed due to safety regulations.
Hope this helps! Thank you for donating 😊
