Community Fridges
FRN installs and stocks community refrigerators so people experiencing hunger can access surplus food donations in a way most convenient to them.
In select regions, particularly urban areas, the majority of surplus food available is more often prepared food rather than raw produce or ingredients. Large convention centers, stadiums, and event venues often have large amounts of surplus prepared meals that far too often go to waste. Further, communities experiencing hunger often face barriers to accessing fresh meals (i.e., lack of transportation, limited community food distribution hours, lack of refrigeration, etc).
To combat these conflicting issues, FRN recovers surplus food and redistributes freshly prepared meals to community fridges connected to communities experiencing hunger. The community fridge is a way to store and distribute perishable delicious food that is accessible to community members at convenient locations and accessible anytime. By bringing the food directly where it is most needed, it increases regular access to nutritious, ready-made meals.
