take what you need!
this effort is completely community based.
meaning, everyone involved is a volunteer & the fridges belong to the community!
please keep these things in mind when visiting each location:
-
you DO NOT have to sign up or have permission to access the fridges.
-
you may go to any location, any time of day. the fridge hosts welcome all visitors to the fridges & do not need to be notified ahead of time.
-
please take turns and be kind if someone is already at a fridge. if they are dropping items off, you can ask them if they need help or wait until they are done.
-
please keep the fridge doors open for as little time as possible.
-
think of your neighbors! austin has one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the country. please only take what you (& your family) need for that day.
-
to keep everyone safe, please only touch what you plan on taking. please do not open food items & take only some out of them (ie: a loaf of bread, bag of chips, prepared meals, etc...).
-
a clean fridge is a healthy fridge! please help us keep the fridge & surrounding area tidy.
-
if you are unable to clean, please contact us so we can give that location some attention.
