The Love Fridge is a collective that practices mutual aid grounded in food. We are powered by kindness, generosity, and most importantly, love. We are your neighbors, looking out for our community. We have the common belief that being able to feed yourself is not a privilege, but a right. With food insecurity at an all-time high, keeping our communities fed right now is more important than ever. Our goal as a collective is to nourish our communities while combating food scarcity and food waste. Our volunteers come from all over Chicago and work within their own communities to collaborate with local, like-minded partners to place community refrigerators across the city. These refrigerators, painted by local artists to reflect the communities in which they live, provide people with access to donate and/or take food with a goal of providing access 24/7 where possible.
