Dover Community Fridge

What is a Community Fridge?

The Dover Community Fridge is a part of a national movement to provide 24/7 access to healthy food without stigma. Anyone can put food in or take food out, any time.

Who is it For?

Everyone! The motto for our fridge initiative is “Take what you need. Leave what you don’t. Give what you can.” We want everyone to have access to healthy food, so our fridge is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
