BWG Welcomes New Community Fridge

The Town of BWG is thrilled to announce the Bradford Community Fridge!

Sponsored by Gwillimdale Farms, in partnership with The Helping Hand Food Bank, and with support from the BWG Public Library and the Town, the Bradford Community Fridge was officially opened to the public on Thursday afternoon, during a grand opening ceremony!

Located outside of the BWG Public Library and Cultural Centre, the Community Fridge is a pivotal project focused on strong community support and enhancing food accessibility to BWG residents.

In the spirit of giving, we invite all residents to participate by donating surplus, non-perishable, and perishable food items.
