Denver Community Fridges online three weeks ago, she immediately sprang into action, cooking a giant pot of congee to divvy up into individual portions and put in the group’s refrigerators. “As much privilege as there is in this world, there’s a lot of pain, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of struggle out there,” Wong says.
She is one of the many Denver area residents inspired to donate their food, time, and energy to the two-month-old grassroots initiative, which aims to help address food insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic and beyond.

Denver Community Fridge program expands amid pandemic

Jim Norris is loving the Denver Community Fridge program despite having reservations at the start.
“Any trepidation I had about (negative) neighborhood reactions or people abusing it are gone,” he said recently on the one-month anniversary of the fridge’s debut outside his store at Ellsworth Street and South Broadway. “In fact, I’m surprised at how it’s taken off.”
When 24-year-old Eli Zain, founder of Denver Community Fridge, emailed Norris months ago about hosting the fridge, Norris immediately said “yes.” The idea of stocking fresh, donated food for food-insecure residents and unhoused people was something he was already working on thanks to Mar Williams’ Squash the System, a donation cart offering free, fresh vegetables. (Now, in the winter months, it’s a canned-food program.)

Thursday, December 24, is a good time for everyone to either ask others for help or ask themselves what they can do for others. Either way, a good place to start is at one of three Denver Community Fridges scattered around the metro area. The functioning refrigerators are located outside and are accessible all day, every day. If you need a meal, show up and take what you need. If you can lend a hand, please donate quality food clearly marked with an expiration date and ingredients (if it s homemade); the only donations the effort can t accommodate are packages of raw meat. Donors are asked to straighten up the fridges and dispose of any food that s past its expiration date when they drop off new food. Visit the project s Instagram page and tap Info to ensure you re doing things right (and not creating more work for organizers!), then drop by one of the refrigerators outside Mutiny Information Cafe (2 South Broadway), Huckleberry Roasters (4301
