Tucson Freedge | Creating Food Security & Reducing Food Waste

What is the Tucson FREEdge?

The Tucson FREEdge is a free community fridge project! We are preventing food from going to waste in Central Tucson by getting that food directly into the hands of the people in our community facing food insecurity.

This mutual aid project creates an avenue for people to recieve free food at whatever time of day is convenient for them without usual barriers.

We are now officially a registered 501(c)(3)!

Want to help prevent food waste and feed people?
