A Community Fridge is a space that brings people together to share food, meet up and prevent fresh food from going to waste. They’re open to all and anyone can share or take food, including surplus from supermarkets, local food businesses, producers, households and gardens. Fridges are run by community groups in shared spaces such as schools, community centres and shops. There are over 600 fridges across the UK (and counting).
The Community Fridge Network is coordinated by Hubbub and brings together all UK based groups running a community fridge.
The Wigston Magna Community Fridge is ran by a team of Leicestershire County Council Family Help volunteers who work tirelessly to keep the project running.
We're located at Wigston Magna Family Hub, Long Street LE18 2AH
Its open Monday Wednesday Thursday 13:00 - 14:00 and Friday 11:00 - 12:00 and totally free !!
Everyone is welcome, but we do ask that you only take what you need so we can support as many people as possible.
For everyone's safety, at busy times we may ask people to be as quick as possible as the queue can go past the car park which can be dangerous.
Please bring a bag as we cant always provide one.
This is an environmental project and NOT a food bank. We cannot guarantee the amount of food we will have but we try our best to give everyone a little something.
open to everyone. no referral needed
