To follow up on our last update in May, the Community Larder at the library is going from strength to strength. The new fridge, launched in May and featured in the Courier, has proved very popular. Anyone can pop in and pick up something tasty. We also receive chilled and ambient food via our Fareshare subscription every Friday lunchtime - new volunteers are always welcome to help with unloading and re-stocking. We continue to collect from Tesco and other supporters. Our App lets us know since starting we have made 492 collections from Tesco stores in Crediton, collecting 9,609kg of food, saving 30,747 kg of CO2. This success rests on all our funders, supporters and volunteers, so if you would like to help please get in touch via the link below

 Food stall and help required

The Larder Group have agreed to run a food stall at the Big Green Fair in the Square on September 23rd, serving soup and bread, tea/coffee and cakes. Also hoping to run a 'help yourself' table of donated surplus foodstuffs alongside the food counter. Hoping to raise funds for the Community Larder via donations.

 So we very much hope that that lots of Lovely Larder People and other well-wishers will be able to:

- join us in the square from 9.00 onwards to set up our stall and prepare to heat up drinks and soup

- bring donations of cake or soup (soup ideally in a saucepan ready to re-heat) together with ingredients lists

- bring donations of surplus fruit and veg for our Help Yourself table

Please contact Alison Orchard using the link on this page, or existing members of the group via our WhatsApp, to confirm what help you can offer: thanks in anticipation.
