All hosts need to provide is electricity and an accessible location. Everything else—stocking, cleaning, maintaining—is handled 100% by community volunteers. The food is donated by the community, anyone from local restaurants and markets to individuals.

How much would it cost me?

Powering the average fridge costs roughly $30/month in electricity. We can cover the cost, but most businesses opt to donate it. It’s up to you!
