There are now fridge check-in QR codes that allow you guys to see what the fridges need & how full they may (or may not be)
This will give you guys real time updates on how the fridges are doing & also allows you to upload picture update’s!

This week I reported on a solution I've seen firsthand work in my neighborhood. From a co-founder @thefreedge: "COVID was just the trigger of this big explosion of mutual aid in the U.S. ... Maybe when the next crisis comes, we will be better prepared."

Mai Nguyen: “When we think about land reform, transferring land is the easier part. What’s really challenging is how to decolonize our relationships to the land and to each other so we don’t replicate the harm. And benefit the ppl closest to the land, not those farthest away.”
In a shed in Merced, #California , there is a random refrigerator overflowing with an ever-changing bounty of locally sourced whole fruits and vegetables.
@thefreedge is a volunteer labor of love. Watch our new video! #foodforallyoutu.be/s7RxGRa5Evk
In the past year we distributed 60 microgrants to freedges around the US and abroad. Please help us do more! Donating will help us maintain and build community fridges and also a better resource database. gofund.me/a047c1ab
We have a really super exciting secret we have to tell y’all about before we burst. We’re starting a farm. Yes. And you are invited. Also, think about some farm names. There will be prizes for the person who comes up with the best name!
ALT We’re starting a farm- join us Saturday December 5 for a work day to get this land prepped for planting. 492 Fountain Dr in West Sac, be there at 9am. We’ll be serving lunch. Maybe bring some gloves and wear sunscreen? Should be another beautiful fall day. Sign up at tinyurl.com/NCRFarm
A @NYTimes investigation into Brazil’s rapidly expanding slaughterhouse industry identified loopholes in monitoring systems that allow hides from cattle kept on illegally deforested Amazon land to flow undetected to buyers worldwide. buff.ly/3qQAMbp
#MutualAid friends who are facing food insecurity: @thefreedge is an incredible initiative where communities install public fridges and anyone can fill them with food when they're able to, or take some of that food when they need to.
