What's a Free Fridge?
A Free Fridge, or Community Fridge is a type of mutual aid project that enables food to be shared within a community.
Food is available for free and community members can drop off and pick up food as needed.
The Wilbur Free Fridge at Blackbird is open 24/7. Stop by anytime to donate, or take any food you need.
Located at 587 Abeel Street (x Dunn St.), "Kingston, NY"

Read on about the roles we’ll need filled:
Donate Food
Now that the fridge is in place, it needs to be stocked. Those interested in donating food can pick up a little extra on your trips to the store and drop it off, connect with local markets and restaurants to coordinate donation pickups, or donate home-cooked meals. Every little bit helps (just make sure to check the donation guideline first).
Volunteer to Check On It
The Wilbur Free Fridge is 100% Volunteer-operated. We want to make sure the fridge is operational, stocked, and in a sanitary state. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out.
We look forward to working with the community in this way and encourage you to get involved in a way that works for you!
