LLTCA-Laurencetown, Lenaderg &Tullylish Community Association (Foodbank) – Laurencetown and surrounding towns and villages (5 mile radius)

Community Fridge:

This is a great way to minimise food waste (if someone has too much of something e.g. onions/tomatoes/fruit that will go out of date, they can leave it into the Fridge for others to use) and is also a good way to open up food supplies to someone who is in need. Cooked food is not to be left in the fridge – but all other items such as fresh fruit, vegetables, bottled water, milk, eggs, bread, non-perishable items such as pasta, rice, frozen items, tinned goods, yoghurts, ham etc. that have a clear use by date in the packaging.
Staff will monitor use by dates daily.

Laurencetown’s fridge will be situated just inside our lockable gate at the main entrance at the Centre. It will be accessible when the centre is open. We are registering with a couple of food sharing schemes locally – so that is how we propose this to operate in the long term.
Community fridges are not a new thing (there are over 450 across the UK).
You do not need to ask permission to take from or put things in the fridge. For people aged 18 and over.
