Essex Market's
Community fridge

How can I participate?

The fridge is accessible 24/7 for community members to take what they need and give what they can. Some examples of foods we would love to see stocked in the community fridge:

  • Fresh fruits and vegetables

  • Whole grain products

  • Canned goods (ex: beans, corn, mixed vegetables)

  • Dried packaged goods (ex: beans, lentils, black eyed peas)

  • Grains (ex: rice, pasta, quinoa)

How do we keep the fridge full?

  1. Businesses and suppliers donate bulk products, and local grocers and farmers donate unsellable “ugly” produce.

  2. Restaurants and food brands donate pre-approved packaged meals. Community members like you can also drop off foods!
