Problem: Nesodden Ressurskafe addresses the issue of resource wastage and social exclusion. Many individuals and families struggle to afford new items or participate in community activities, leading to increased waste and social isolation.

Challenges:

• Ensuring consistent funding and resources
• Managing volunteer engagement and retention
• Balancing supply and demand for donated items

Solution: Nesodden Ressurskafe operates a free café and shop where community members can donate and take items at no cost. The initiative promotes a sharing economy, focusing on reuse and sustainability. It also offers various activities and events, fostering social inclusion and community engagement.

A core activity includes collecting food waste via Matsentrallen for redistribution to the community.
