Community Fridge
After 4 years of operations the East Village Neighbors Fridge has shut down and will not be accepting new donations. If you would like to continue donatin there are two other Community Fridges in the neighborhood - the Loisaida Fridge (on Avenue B and 9th Street) and the Chelsea Community Fridge (on 15th Street and 6th Avenue).
In addition here is a list of all the food distributions in the neighborhood where you can get free groceries and also donate to them.
East Village Free Food Distributions
Hosting the East Village Neighbors Fridge at S’MAC the last 4 years has made us feel all the feels. We’ve met so many incredible people and have had a village (literally) help keep it going this entire time. The amount of food being rescued daily and the amount of meals provided to our neighbors by such a strong community who cares has been truly heartwarming. We know the fridge will be a loss to the community but are hopeful to find a new home for it soon.
