Hassan Riaz, an Organiser from The Halifax Community Fridge added: "Many people are struggling to provide the most basic of needs during the current cost of living crisis. This event is another way of bringing people together and supporting each other through this difficult time. Our volunteers have been helping vulnerable people for almost 1000 days now, and the need has never been greater. We will continue to support people through the many ongoing initiatives. Events of this nature are essential for building mutual trust and understanding, and contribute towards building a sustainable and cohesive society."
