Halls fridges: free food, less waste, more support

Posted 10 months ago

Why you should be using the community fridges in your hall!

Did you know that the UK wastes approximately 9.52 million tonnes of food every year?*

Sharing meals with your new roommates goes beyond socializing... it's a powerful way to minimise waste and foster a sense of community in your living space. 🏡🌿

This is why we have installed community fridges in our UAL Halls to encourage students to share more and waste less. ♻️🗑️

Perhaps you have extra food you don’t want? Drop it in our shared fridge for others to enjoy. Or if you’re hungry, please help yourself to anything in there - it’s all up for grabs! 🤤

For the Christmas period on Monday 23rd December the fridges will be filled up with the following free products by your Halls Life committee:

  • Vegetables
  • Fruits
  • Breakfast items
  • Yogurts
  • Porridge pots
  • Sweet treats 😋

✅ Types of food encouraged to add to a community fridge ✅

• Unopened, unwanted food welcome

• Vegetarian and vegan items only

• Must be within best before date

⚠️ Please note, foods in here may contain ⚠️ 

 • Milk

• Eggs 

• Wheat

• Soy

• Tree nuts

• Peanuts
