Rescue Food and Feed the Community!

New York City NY

Description

We are a friendly group of people who rescue food from restaurants and other businesses to bring to free community fridges and cupboards. We save hundreds of pounds of food each day and we feed many people. We are looking for more volunteers to help us! We have a number of scheduled food pickups and would like to add a few more to our calendar, but we need more people to commit to weekly, bi-weekly or monthly pickups and drop-offs. The businesses we receive donations from are mainly in Chelsea, the Flatiron, Union Square, the East Village and NoHo. The fridges are in Chelsea, the East Village and NoHo. Some of our volunteers take grocery deliveries and prepare meals and sandwiches for the cupboard, but most of us just pick up and deliver -- you are welcome to do either! If you would like to help us, please check out our Instagram at theChelseaFridge and send us a DM.
