HOW TO START A COMMUNITY FRIDGE
Posted by The Philadelphia Citizen on November 28, 2023
Dozens of community fridges have opened up in the last few years to help alleviate hunger.
Since the start of the pandemic, more than a dozen community fridges in Philly have opened to help alleviate the deepening and long-existing systems of racism and oppression that contribute to food insecurity in the city. Sometimes known as “freedges,” community fridges are a type of mutual aid project that offer fresh fruit and vegetables, prepared meals and non-perishable items that are free for all and can be accessed through an outdoor refrigerator at any time.
Here is a step-by-step guide to launching one in your neighborhood.
