We're a little late, and by the time this is posted the fridges may all be cleared out. ❤️
We strive to work as fast as we can with everything we do. We understand the dire need of our community. We also aim to make sure y'all know that if you're wanting to help with our mission, there are many, many ways to do so. 🤲🏼
These donations came from both of our angel donors, simultaneously, on the same day. This rarely happens, but we are so grateful that it did.
Christian Life Center, Lafayette LA
St Barnabas Lafayette
Lafayette Community Fridge-Powered by Foodies of Lafayette, Lafayette location
&&
Space Cat Community Fridge
were all serviced earlier this morning.
St. Leo's Community Fridge on Alexander received a donation yesterday.
Now... 🤔 If you're wondering, here's how you can help us keep the fridges fuller, more often:
1️⃣ Attend our meetings and stay up to date with our events and needs. We can start posting dates here so that it's no longer word of mouth only.
2️⃣ When you visit your favorite local restaurants, don't be shy! Mention our name and ask them what they do with their surplus food at the end of the night! The more people that know about us, the more food we can potentially save. Once we've got a donation partner, we get our volunteers to put all hands on deck and make plates to feed our community.
3️⃣ If you've made a donation connection already, give our food donations coordinator a call or text at:
☎️ 337-366-0719, and they will reach out to the vendors. A backup contact is sending us an email at:
📩 [email protected].
4️⃣ If you personally have donations you'd like to make, see our previous posts about donation guidelines, and we'll be posting a link to the map in the comments ⬇️
Feel free to post photos when you're done to let the community know the fridges have food.
✨ Please note that we cannot make food drops to individuals, we can only fill the network of fridges at this time. Hopefully, at some point in the future, we will have the capacity to deliver food to those that need, but for now we don't have the manpower or resources, regretfully. 😔
‼️ If you've got any questions, comments, or concerns, please send us a DM or use any of the contacts above.
We wish you well and y'all be safe out there on this rainy day 🙏🏼 much love, Acadiana 🫶🏼
