We're grateful to have partnerships with volunteers and groups like and Charles River Regional Chamber. But the fridge is still in need of a HOME. 🌎 Earth Day is April 22nd and we want to announce our future home by then! A community fridge is built by it's community- and to ensure a host is a perfect partnership for everyone, we have a Wish List:

- Easily accessible location in Wellesley.
- Able to connect to electricity for fridge/ lighting.
- Local business or organization on private property.
- Parking available space to receive quick deliveries/ pick-ups by personal vehicle.
-Supports our mission of providing 24/7 access to free food to our neighbors.

DO YOU KNOW A HOST THAT MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT? DM OR EMAIL [email protected]

Hello all,
Thanks for your support and momentum in getting the community fridge news out. I spoke with the Wellesley Health Department and there are some concerns we are working out. Unlike most fridges this will sit on Wellesley Housing Authority property and that gives them all the control over what happens next.
We have a meeting set for next Monday. I am certain we can make it work.
If anyone has serve safe managers certification, right now I need you like crazy. PM me for details. All else hang in there, let everyone know. If you have the opportunity contact the Wellesley Housing Authority and the Wellesley Health Department to let them know we really want to do this and will take care of all concerns.
Write notes here and invite friends to like and follow. When I was young I fought under the banner of giving the people what they wanted, now it’s about getting the people what they need! Let’s do this!
