Community Fridges
Another option available if you are struggling for food is to use a Community Fridge. These are places that give out food collected from shops/businesses that are close to or just reached their best before date (not use by dates). They are still good to eat but shops can’t sell them so to stop them going to landfill the food goes to the fridges- saving good food from being wasted!
Below are a list of the community fridges available in Bucks and their opening times. You can also find out more information about these on our Service Search.
