How do the community fridges work?

Community fridges, or β€˜freedges’, run off goodwill basis from local residents. Anyone can drop off unwanted or unused food items and anyone can stop by to take what they need. No questions asked!

Ready to help?

We couldn’t do it without you. Whatever you’re able to give – from fridges, to food, to monetary donations – your generosity will help keep those fed in our community who would otherwise go without.
