What is a Community Fridge ?

A refrigerator placed in a public space aimed to promote equal access to fresh produce while reducing food insecurity and waste. The fridge is a community focused resourced maintained through a network of support from local residents to outside donors. This form of mutual aid allows communities to come together and create conversation around food while sharing social responsibility.

​

The community fridge is sustained through collaborative efforts from the community, local vendors, and donors. You can drop off or take fresh produce, non-perishable items, and other basic necessities at your convenience to one of our locations below. For large donations or interest in volunteering please contact us.

​

For those interested in making monetary donations to assist with sustaining the fridge, QR Codes with various mobile payment can be found on-site, as well as here.
