Community fridges, also called free fridges or community pantries, aim to reduce food waste and food insecurity, addressing the significant issue in the US.
During the pandemic, food insecurity spiked, peaking twice: initially at the start as jobs were lost, and then again when COVID support ended.
North America faces staggering food waste rates, with 40% of food in the US wasted and over half of Canada's 50 million tonnes potentially preventable.
Community fridges source food from grocery stores, individual donations, and restaurants to help distribute food to those in need while reducing waste.
