Anyone can help our neighbors by shopping our Amazon Wishlist! You can stock important pantry staples that ship right to a volunteer’s home and then get added to the community pantry ASAP!

Prime Day runs tomorrow thru Friday, so let’s use it to do some good. As we always say, every small act of kindness adds up to make a big impact.

Our volunteer team wants to give a big thank you to the anonymous shopper who generously purchased these items from our wishlist. Your support means a lot to us, and a lot to our community. 🤗

Please share to spread the word!

Many of our neighbors are loosing their SNAP benefits, many of our neighbors are on a fixed income, many of our neighbors have kids home from school and have to think about more meals, many of our neighbors don’t have a kitchen or the ability to cook. They often turn to the fridge.

We need to scale up rapidly to meet the growing demand in our community. We are looking to partner with local places looking to take direct action.

Are you a businesses owner who wants to help? Do you work at a place who throws away perfectly good food? Do you think we can partner for a fundraiser? Reach out! We’ll do all the heavy lifting.

Please share!

It’s a beautiful day and a lot of you are in your gardens. Before you know it, you might have a ton of extra fruits, veggies, and herbs on your hands! Consider sharing the extras directly with your community by dropping them off at the fridge! You can even track your donations on the Fresh Food Connect app! Just enter your zip code, and it will connect you with your closest registered pantry. Don’t see your zip? Feel free to stop by anyway! All are welcome to leave what they can.

We’re getting our butts kicked by this heatwave. Everyone is feeling it, but high temps can be unsafe for our neighbors without air conditioning or with health concerns. Help keeps folks hydrated! We’ll also take ice packs from food or medicine deliveries to help keep things cold!

Some of you have asked about where we get the food that we stock for our community. It’s a mix of items we pickup from pantry partners, neighbor contributions, and staples we buy with crowd sourced funds.

Let us introduce one of our partners, Sharing Excess!

In 2016 founder Evan Ehlers was a student at Drexel, and began using his extra meal swipes to hand out meals across Philadelphia. Since then, Sharing Excess has grown to multiple cities and rescues over 2 million pounds of food a week. Over the last 10 years, they have distributed over 100 million meals by working with farmers, grocers, and wholesalers to provide surplus food to local pantries and community fridges.

We partnered with these lovely folks at the beginning of the year and they continue to provide us great stuff for you every Tuesday!

Stay tuned next week to meet another partner that helps us make the fridge possible!

We’re holding another $5 Friday! Our Venmo Grocery Fund is very low (that’s ok, that means we got a lot of groceries for our neighbors!)

Anyone who contributes $5 or more this weekend will get a sticker. All donations go right to stocking food for the community.

The Venmo link is right in our bio. Just send us a message or comment on the payment with your address and we’ll mail you one of these guys.

We’re excited to be partnering with Fresh Food Connect to help our neighbors with a green thumb share their homegrown produce directly with the community.

Are you looking for ways to help your community? Cooking a meal, making a sandwich or salad, or even boxing up a side and dropping it off at the fridge is a great option! Many of our neighbors don’t have access to a kitchen, can’t stand for long periods of time, or don’t always have all the ingredients to make a full meal. Many of our neighbors could use a break and having a night off from planning and cooking a whole meal for a family can be a huge relief.

It doesn’t have to be completed either! Sharing food with others is truly a wonderful way to show you care. Just remember to add an ingredient label and date. Spelling mistakes are ok. We don’t judge.

Lots of goodies moving through the fridge this Saturday thanks to .phl and our dedicated team who’s picking up, stocking up, and making a ton of lunches!
