Reydon & Southwold Community Fridge and Pantry launches! Thank you for your support!

The Reydon & Southwold Community Fridge and Pantry welcomed thirty families on its opening day on Friday 28 April, 2023. Thank you to everyone who is supporting this community initiative, led by Reydon Parish Council in collaboration with Southwold Town Council.

The Pantry is open every Friday from 09:00 to 12:00 AND 16:00 to 19:00 at Reydon Village Hall, IP18 6RF.

This initiative helps local businesses reduce food waste by offering our community short-date fresh and dry goods that would otherwise be thrown away, free of charge. This will help create a more sustainable community as well as ease the squeeze on everyone’s pockets as food prices continue to rise.

It follows other successful community fridge projects across the UK, including Kessingland Parish Council, who has opened one in the village library.

Please do continue to spread the word and we look forward to welcoming our community again next Friday. Just come along to Reydon Village hall with one normal sized shopping bag per household.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee food is safe for allergy sufferers.

If you have any questions about the Pantry, please get in touch with the team at reydonandsouthwoldpantry@gmail.com
