Eatery Puts Fridge On Street, So Patrons Can Leave Leftovers For Those In Need

One restaurant in India is bagging the idea of a traditional doggy bag.
Instead Pappadavada, a popular restaurant in Kochi, is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a refrigerator located outside of the eatery for the hungry to take. People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time, for any reason. No questions asked. Minu Pauline, who runs Pappadavada, has nicknamed the fridge, which was placed there on March 23 and is shaded by a neighboring tree, “nanma maram” or “tree of goodness.” The fridge is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week and stays unlocked. Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food on whatever its wrapped in, so those who take know how long it’s been there. But most food doesn’t stay in the fridge for long. Pauline told The Huffington Post that despite a huge response from the community and ample donations, the fridge needs to be restocked regularly. Pauline herself adds around 75 to 80 portions of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge.

“There’s days when I put 100 in there,” she said. “There are no limits.”

How do they know it's taken by needy people?

by Guest Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:59 pm

On good faith.

Which I do not need to explain what having that is to you do I rags and not having a go either.

It's OK. The last sentence didn't really make sense anyway.

It's a fantastic idea. Love it.
I hope only those in need do take it though.

I would imagine its ok Eddie, in their society it would be considered shameful to take something meant for the poor...

only in the uk with its tories who think that the poor and disabled provision is their pot to punder...and that taking from the needy to give to the already obscenely boated rich is a good thing

I mean over here they would wait till the fridge was filled then confiscate it on some pretext....

Hahahaha you're so cynical.
But alas, probably right.
