Good food.
Shared
locally.

We bring people together to rescue usable surplus food, reduce waste and support Marcham and the surrounding communities.

Our fridge is a welcoming place where good food can find a new home — and everyone can take part.

Our story

Rooted in our community.

Marcham Community Fridge previously worked with Abingdon Community Fridge to establish local connections and relationships with retailers.

We now operate independently as Marcham Community Fridge CIC, with a focus on building a reliable, sustainable service for Marcham and the surrounding area.

Our purpose is simple: help good food reach people instead of going to waste, while creating opportunities for neighbours, volunteers and local partners to work together.

Everyone is welcome.

Whether you want to reduce waste, make your food budget go further or meet others in your community, you are welcome here. We share food without judgement or stigma, and aim to make everyone feel respected and included.

The people behind the fridge

A shared effort.

Marcham Community Fridge brings together the people who organise the service, volunteers who give their time, local sources of surplus food and the residents who use and support it.

01 / Rescue

Good food goes further.

We collect usable surplus food from retailers and other generous sources, helping prevent it from being wasted.

02 / Share

Local people benefit.

Food is checked and handled carefully before being shared locally, helping households make food go further.

03 / Connect

Community comes first.

We create a practical way for people to help one another and take part in reducing food waste.
