The mission statement for PDX Free Fridge is simple, “take what you need, leave what you don’t, give what you can”. With over 30 Free Fridges in Portland, PDX Free Fridge is taking the initiative to show local communities what mutual aid is all about. Though this organization is called PDX Free Fridge, many locations also offer a pantry option for non-perishable items. They also have guidelines on what sort of foods are okay to donate so they don’t end up with, let's say, 20 cans of expired chicken noodle soup.
PDX Free Fridge is not funded by any government organizations, they are out here doing the work as a community and trying to get good food into the hands of people with low income. If someone would like to contribute to a free fridge or pantry, it’s easy as dropping food off at one of their locations, which can all be found on their website. They also accept donations via Venmo and CashApp.
