A restaurant in India has installed an outdoor fridge to provide food for local homeless people.
The public fridge, outside Pappadavada restaurant in Kerala, in south-west India, is stocked with leftover produce from the restaurant and is then given to those less fortunate.
The fridge, dubbed “the tree of goodness” opened for local homeless people last month where it provides access to free food 24/7, with locals now stocking the fridge with their leftovers as well.
Owner, Minu Pauline, came up with the idea after seeing a woman rummaging through the bins.
“The only thing I want to discourage is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the refrigerator,” she told The Huffington Post.
“I’d rather people put their excess food they already bought but aren’t going to eat in the refrigerator instead of the trash bin.”
