The fridge, stocked with usable surplus food from local supermarkets and donations, aims to both reduce food poverty and food waste, preventing good food from going to landfill.
What is Coffee for a Coffee?
Our Coffee for a Coffee project is an initiative where we donate a cup of coffee to those in need for every coffee we sell. When you purchase a coffee-based drink at any TOAST branch, we donate a cup to a charity, organisation, or not-for-profit in our local community.
Your support makes our Coffee for a Coffee project possible. Thank you.
