Community fridges are a free, anonymous source of food with 24/7 accessibility. Anyone can drop off food that they don’t want, or would otherwise throw away, for another person in the community to enjoy. Think of it as crowd-funding a full fridge.

What exactly is a community fridge?

They promote equal access to food through community-based donations, especially in neighborhoods where food assistance is difficult to receive. Food banks are not always close by, so community fridges offer a transportation-free option.
Community fridges also grew in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as they didn’t (and don’t) require people to congregate for meals. The fridges continue to provide assistance to those ineligible for COVID-19 relief, like undocumented residents and families.
