Food insecurity affects many families in Salida, and community efforts like The Salida Community Fridge plays a vital role in providing fresh, accessible food to those in need. To keep this important resource running, a fundraiser will be held at A Church, inviting residents to come together and support their neighbors. This event offers a chance to make a real difference while connecting with others who care about the well-being of the community.
What is The Salida Community Fridge?
The Salida Community Fridge is a shared, open-access refrigerator placed in a public space where anyone can donate or take food. It operates on the principle of mutual aid, helping reduce food waste and support those facing hunger. The fridge is stocked by local volunteers, businesses, and residents who contribute fresh produce, dairy, bread, and other essentials.
This initiative helps:
Provide immediate food relief to families and individuals
Reduce food waste by redistributing surplus items
Build a stronger, more connected community
Why the Fundraiser Matters
Operating and maintaining the Salida Community Fridge requires ongoing resources. Electricity, cleaning supplies, restocking efforts, and outreach all need funding.
The Kat McQuillan's fundraiser at A Church will help cover these costs to help Guidestone replenish items for the fridge.
