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.
