Community Fridge
In September 2019, Foodshare Kerry launched Kerry’s first-ever Community Fridge at St Brigid’s Family Resource Centre in Hawley Park, Tralee. This initiative, supported by Kerry County Council’s Community Enhancement Fund, was a collaborative effort with St Brigid’s to address food waste and food poverty in the community.
The Community Fridge operates 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday, providing a space where residents and businesses can donate surplus food, and anyone in the community can access - no questions asked. It’s a simple, effective way to reduce waste while supporting people experiencing food insecurity.
Foodshare Kerry encourages local food businesses across Tralee and beyond to get involved, highlighting the power of community collaboration in building a more sustainable and inclusive future.
