Action Needed

This is our first time here and it's wild that it's right before our two year anniversary.

We are sad to say that we are suspending our weekly shopping trip for a couple weeks so that we can build donations and funds. This also means that we won't be able to deliver bins to pantry parents and fridge fosters. Sandwich Squad will still be in the parks two days a week and we will still have the warehouse open on Sundays for warehouse business, but please know that there won't be much for shopping.

In the past, we have put a call-out to the community asking for donations to be taken to our drop sites and to the warehouse but this time we are asking for a different kind of support.

What kind of support do we need in the next couple weeks? 

- Make a $30 donation to Free Fridge Salem for our t-shirt fundraiser! Share!

- Send us monetary donations! Share our venmo. 

- We would like to ask folks to really commit to direct aid by putting unexpired donations right into the fridges, freezers and pantries.

- Sign up for Sandwich Squad and support our neighbors through making sandwiches/salads or being a server (valid food handlers card).

- Cook ready to eat meals for the fridges (valid food handlers card) - chances are if you like it, our neighbors will like it. 

We are going to be reaching out to folks that have been holding on to Free Fridge Salem funds and check-in about getting some of the checks processed. We have had difficulty cashing checks we have received due to them being written out to Free Fridge Salem and us not having an actual bank account. AND, we are trying to switch our venmo during all this and our hopes are that this venmo stuff will be worked out soon but venmo is so slow to respond.

We, all of us; have created this beautiful community that cares about one another. We have practiced being good neighbors together for almost two years and I have trust in this community that we will be able to keep our beautiful project going.

Thanks for being here. Thanks for your time and dedication to this project. Thanks for being a good neighbor and for taking care of one another. 

Thanks for the radical love.
