COMMUNITY FRIDGE PROJECT
Lets work together to increase food access
What is a community fridge?
- The main aim of a community fridge is to reduce food insecurity while also mitigating food waste. We have a take what you need, leave what you can policy. Volunteers run the program and all food is free with no questions asked.
Beginning in the summer of 2023 The Office Shop in downtown Calumet will host our first community fridge. We will be asking vendors from the Calumet Farmers Market, the market at the Calumet Art Center and other small gardeners to donate what they can. Volunteers will pick up the food and deliver to The Office Shop every Saturday starting in Mid-June. The Office Shop is open Saturdays until 4pm and Monday-Friday 7:30-5pm. Closed on Sundays. The Office Shop already has a food pantry running so please stop in there if you are in need or if you would like to donate shelf stable goods or make a monetary donation to purchase more food. The fridge will be cleaned out every Friday and re stocked every Saturday. Any food left at the end of the week will be donated to a family to feed to their farm animals.
Please email us if you would like more information or if you would be interested in donating to the fridge. Our hope is that we will have fridges in all of our surrounding communities.
Thank you to Sue Peterson for partnering in the creation of this project!
