One runner headed out to local supermarkets to collect 'best before' food that would otherwise be binned. The usual crowd were at the community fridge in the library and gave me a warm welcome. There were only some donuts and daffodils available this week, but they were appreciated.

Exeter Community Fridge
We rescue surplus food from supermarkets across the city and give it away to all via a publicly accessible fridge in Exeter Library in order to reduce food waste.

As above. We need volunteers to pick up surplus food from designated businesses and drop it off at the Community Fridge. Quantities of food can vary but we will aim to match individual volunteers to particular pick-ups. Pick-ups are usually in the morning and the fridge is open during library opening hours. We are primarily a sustainability initiative.
