Flitwick Community Fridge

📢 A reminder that our opening hours changed from today!

We’ve emailed and sent an SMS to all members who have given us permission to contact them, but we don’t want anyone making a wasted journey.

Please take a moment to check our updated opening times before visiting: https://bit.ly/4isJF2n

Thank you for your support and understanding. 💚

📢 Changes to opening hours from Monday 8th June

After reviewing visitor feedback, usage data, food availability and volunteer capacity, we’re making some changes to our opening hours from Monday 8th June.

The main changes are:

🔹 Friday afternoon sessions will no longer run
🔹 Afternoon sessions on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday are moving slightly later to 15:00-16:30
🔹 Our Wednesday supported tier only session is moving to 14:00-16:30, allowing us to offer a better and more varied stock selection
🔹 We’re introducing occasional Saturday and Sunday evening use-by sessions at 20:50, when enough surplus food and volunteers are available
🔹 From Saturday 13th June, supported tier households will also have access to a smaller top-up table during the normal Saturday morning session. Please note only supported tier members can access the top-up table.

Our Saturday and Sunday evening use-by sessions are dependent on surplus availability and volunteer capacity. Updates will only be shared through our WhatsApp channel.

🥬 Flitwick Community Fridge, Saturday 6th June 🥖

We're open tomorrow from 09:30-11:30 at The Rufus Centre with another great selection of surplus food available.

This week's highlights include:
🥕 A wide selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, onions, broccoli, peppers, citrus fruit and bananas
🍞 Fresh bread and bakery items
🧊 Frozen food, including meat and protein items
🍗 Frozen KFC chicken

Please note that frozen meat and protein items are limited to **one item per household** to help ensure there is enough for everyone.

Up to 3kg of food per household. Please remember to bring your own bag.

We're also pleased to confirm that our new Saturday supported tier top-up table will launch from next weekend.

Flitwick Community Fridge helps redistribute good surplus food that would otherwise go to waste while supporting local households. We're not a food bank and everyone is welcome.

A huge thank you to our amazing charity and retail partners who make this project possible: Co-op Flitwick, Co-op Silsoe, Co-op Marston Moretaine, Tesco Flitwick, Budgens Flitwick, Waitrose Ampthill, Cottage Bakery and FareShare SOFEA.
