About The Friendly Fridge Network: We are a non-profit organization that works to combat food insecurity as well as food waste. With the help of Meals on Main, we are able to redirect food that is past the sell-by date to those in need. We have community hubs for refrigerators and freezers for food insecure communities to have food with no questions asked. This system of trust has been very successful for those who want to give back to their community, and those who need help.
