Merton's Community Fridge

All food is FREE and everyone is welcome to visit to collect food and donate good quality but unwanted items. It's all about giving and sharing!
Sustainable Merton is proud to bring to you Merton’s Community Fridge, which aims to redistribute to the Merton community surplus food from local businesses and food growers, ultimately stopping tonnes of good quality food from going to waste.

30 GoodGymers have supported Merton's Community Fridge with 83 tasks.

Frightfully clean

Wednesday 29th October

Written by Jade

Three GoodGymers embraced the draw of getting active and doing good, heading out into the dark #letsliftthecurfew to support Merton's Community Fridge.

It was a somewhat chaotic clean-up with lots to do, organise and clean. Our trio rolled up their sleeves and systematically worked through the boxes, recycling and rubbish, proving that a small team can make a huge impact. A huge welcome and well done to Kathryn on your first mission, and hopefully see you again soon.

Following a busy distribution session, the team worked quickly getting through everything in record time! The only thing slowing us down was finding a home for the seemingly endless crates of bread!

No time to chill at the Fridge

Wednesday 1st October

Written by Jade

This weeks visit to Merton's Community Fridge for a post-distribution clean-up session was a little later than usual meaning there was plenty piled up and waiting when we arrived! After a quick briefing on the recent changes and new instructions, we powered through the jobs staying on to finish the backlog.

GoodGym "Rains" the Cleanup!

Wednesday 3rd September

Written by Jade

A callout for volunteers at Merton's Community Fridge was answered by our dedicated GoodGym members. They tackled the post-distribution clean-up dealing first with the numerous boxes. A sudden downpour added a new challenge with some strategic "rain-dodging" to get everything into the bins. But a little rain can't dampen our spirit - we got it done!

Moving on up!

Thursday 28th August

Written by Jade

A small but mighty team of two GoodGymmers tackled a big lifting job at Merton's Community Fridge this evening, helping to organise and create much-needed space! With more and more people relying on the Fridge, every inch counts. We worked tirelessly, moving boxes and re-stacking crates to open up the area, hopefully making it easier for the collection and distribution teams to access the food.
