Launching a community fridge in normal circumstances can be a bit of a challenge and during a global pandemic, that tad bit trickier. But, people of Halifax, you came through.
Through your selfless generosity, hundreds of people from Calderdale won't go to sleep hungry.
We are delighted to announce that a whopping £1274.04 was raised at last night’s Winter Bazaar. This money will be split between @MothershareHx and @HalifaxFridge to support their vital work across our town. @ImpactMAT

It was wonderful for a group of Y6 children to visit Halifax Community Fridge this week and help out with serving. The children learnt about how the initiative works and that donations can be dropped off at any time during the day and left behind the shed.
Some incredible work being done in Mosques, supporting local communities across the country. Collectively we supported 5,094 families this past week. We’re working hard day and night to spread peace and feed people across the U.K.
