About

A "by the people, for the people" investment in our community.

The Woburn Community Fridge is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit, located behind the United Methodist Church at 523 Main Street. You do not need permission to bring food to or take food from the fridge — it is free, open 24/7, stocked by neighbors for neighbors.

Why It Exists

15–20% of Massachusetts residents face food insecurity.

The fridge exists to close that gap directly, without paperwork or eligibility checks. Anyone can take what they need, any time. Anyone can give what they can — food, money, or time.
