Taking food
How the fridge works
The fridge is for everyone. One missed paycheck can cause someone to become food insecure.
01
Walk round the back
The fridge sits in a shed behind the United Methodist Church at 523 Main Street. The path is lit and open at all hours.
02
Take what you need or leave what you can
No forms, no ID, no appointment. Leave enough for the next neighbor.
03
Close the door
Shut the fridge door and shed doors firmly so the food stays cold, and tell us on Instagram or Facebook if something looks wrong.
What you will usually find
Our visitors gravitate towards a wide variety of foods. Many of them prefer ready-to-eat foods like handhelds, string cheese, yogurts, fruit cups, and puddings. They also like easy-to-cook options like frozen meals, pizzas, and burritos. Many of our visitors are feeding families so vegetables and proteins are always needed. We do often benefit from leftover vegetables from The Dwelling Place dinners (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays).
The food moves fast so your donations are always appreciated, even if it seems sometimes like The Fridge is stock full.
