Community Fridge
Neighbors Nourishing Neighbors in the Near Northwest Neighborhood
Leave what you can. Take what you need. Spare some to share.
Our Mission (Why?)
At Feed a Friend, South Bend, we believe that all people deserve regular access to fresh, appealing food that sustains long-term health. We also believe that we are often best positioned to notice and meet the needs of our neighbors through mutual aid. We seek to reduce food waste, respond to food insecurity and build community through the sharing of resources.
What?
A community fridge is a storage space for fresh food and drinks that anyone can add to or access.
Where?
The fridge is located on the California Ave side of the NNN Building. A shed keeps it safe from the elements, and two cupboards offer space for dry goods and other household items.
Who?
It's for you. And me. It's for that spinach in your fridge that won't get eaten if it stays in your own home when you go out of town. It's for that hollow spot in your stomach. It's for anyone who wants to share the gift of good food or receive it.
When?
We can experience generosity or need at any time. With that in mind, the community fridge can be accessed at all hours.
