Just a reminder that we do not accept homemade meals at the fridges! We only accept meals that are prepared in food grade facilities.
Please continue to show solidarity to your neighbours by purchasing fresh produce and staples, and items like prepared grocery sandwiches etc. 🌟
With the extremely cold temperatures, we encourage you to AVOID donating:
🥫 Items in tin cans
🧊 Items in glass containers
🥬 Leafy greens
🥒 Other high water content items that might not survive potential freezing
We could always use extra hands in running the community fridges in Toronto! You can volunteer in different ways:
🌟 Fridge and Site Maintenance
🌟 Community Building and Outreach
🌟 Illustration and Graphic Design

***Note: The 348 Pape location is pantry-only as it does NOT have a fridge.
Please don’t do this.
We operate out of care and respect for each other. Plz care for our neighbours that utilize these resources - they deserve safe and nutritious food (not food exp. in 2012!). Plz care for our volunteers - we deserve respect of our time and efforts.
