ABOUT
Our founder, Daniel Yap first restocked a community fridge on 1 Feb 2018 under the umbrella of SG Food Rescue. That was the first fridge started by MP Baey Yam Keng at the void deck Blk 441 Tampines Street 43.
​​
The purpose of the community fridge was for residents to share surplus food with their neighbours. For us, it was a chance to fill the community fridge to the brim with surplus vegetables, initially from our founder's minimart.
​​
Later on, a second community fridge was started at the void deck of Blk 508B Yishun Avenue 4. Our founder, with his few volunteers, worked hard, restocking both fridges several times a week, often late at night. He wanted to make sure that the unsold vegetables went to feeding the hungry instead of the bin.
​​
Over time, the group also supported other organisations that wanted to start their own community fridges in their neighbourhoods. We did this by providing a guide on how to start and maintain a fridge, as well as sending them food to restock their fridges. This eased the burdens on them and their wallets.
​
During the Covid-19 pandemic, all food rescue programmes were halted.
It was during this time that our founder decided to branch off on his own, formalising the creation of Fridge Restock Community SG.
​
Today, we contribute the fresh supplies to 14 community fridges in Singapore, 10 of which we have made contact with the organisations that maintain the fridges.
​
The group has grown to 40 volunteers. Every Tuesday & Wednesday over 20 volunteers share the load of rescuing, delivering and distributing food to the fridges.
​
Fridge Restock Community SG is formally registered as a charity organisation on 27 June 2023
