The problem

Food insecurity remains a pressing issue in metro Atlanta, where many residents struggle to access nutritious and sufficient food. Rising costs, limited availability of affordable groceries, and systemic challenges exacerbate this issue. College students, low-income families, and the unhoused population are particularly vulnerable, making it essential to create accessible solutions.

The solution

Our Community Refrigerator Initiative offers a simple, no-contact concept: *take what you need.* Refrigerators stocked with fresh produce, perishable items, and other food essentials will be available to anyone in need, ensuring dignity and ease of access. This initiative not only addresses immediate hunger but also helps reduce food waste by partnering with local organizations and businesses.
