"Take what you need. Give what you can;'' Lawrence community fridges seek to fight food insecurity | News

A group of University of Kansas students created Lawrence Freedgin’ Kansas, or LFK Eats, a mutual aid project seeking to help food insecure people in Lawrence by setting up community fridges. The group got the idea from a similar project in Wichita, ICT Free Food, and plans to establish a total of three fridges in Lawrence. LFK Eats is meant to be a mutual-aid project, with the aim of, “building community solidarity and fighting food insecurity throughout the Lawrence community,” according to the group’s Instagram account. “The fridge will be filled with healthy foods for the community and by the community,” said Sayan Grover, an organizer of LFK Eats and student at KU. “Basically, it’s take what you need and give what you can, which is what our slogan is.”
