Welcome to The Public Foundation Connecting The Community Through Food

Our Testimonials What People Say
We have been able to reduce food waste by more than 2.5 tonnes in less than a year just through one fridge. It’s working just like it should. Seeing more fridges starting up is a real testament to the effectiveness of this model.
Harish Bala Kumar
Project Coordinator, Bangalore
I wasn’t able to work ever since the pandemic started. I needed some way to feed myself. I came to know about the presence of a community fridge in my neighbourhood. I come, open up the fridge, and there’s food there. I think that’s the best thing ever.
Shanmugham
Daily wage worker, Chennai
These fridges foster a spirit of sharing and mutual support within the community, reducing food waste and helping to make a positive social impact. What I like the most is they create a stronger link between those in need and those who want to help.
