Bradford Community Fridge
Located outside of the Library and Cultural Centre at 425 Holland Street West, the Bradford Community Fridge is a pivotal project focused on strong community support and enhancing food accessibility to BWG residents.
This initiative was made possible by Gwillimdale Farms, in partnership with The Helping Hand Food Bank, and with support from the BWG Public Library and the Town of BWG.
The Bradford Community Fridge is open to all. Feel free to drop off donations or access food 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
Please direct any questions or concerns to the The Bradford Community Fridge Facebook page.
