Community fridge map
« on: January 23, 2021, 06:29:23 PM »
This is a helpful map for anyone who would like to donate any food items.

I think I may start baking and making sandwiches now ;)

 Any ideas on what is the most popular stuff for the fridges? A few times I went there were some industrial sized items that I think were intimidating for people to take. And some unlabeled healthy looking breads but no really much. Sandwiches sound good but wonder if groceries are better for stretching into meals or the prepared meals are easier to use and more popular.

i think you're right. smaller packages of veg or a pound or two of meat per package.

All kinds of fresh produce
Tortillas
Milk
Eggs
Cooking Oils
Rice
PPE (masks, gloves, hand sanitizer)

Most of these fridges try to discourage people from bringing their own prepared food (businesses and other partners donate these) and ask that anything prepared be thoughtfully labeled with all ingredients and date it was made. Thanks!

CTown at 37th/86 has chicken legs (the leg/thigh big piece) for 59 cents a pound.
So a package of 4 or so of them is about $2 dollars. I'm hoping to get some for the Northern Fridge.

Since it's going to be a cold one for the next few days, I got five bowls of vegan sweet potato soup out of my pot. Sadly just five ;( will bring to elmhurst fridge, but on so dangerous to be close to Ayada and Spicy Shallot, two wonderful Thai restaurants ;)
