Sometimes called freedges, they are a type of mutual aid project that enables food to be shared within a community. Some community fridges also have an associated area for non-perishable food.
 Community fridges are often commercial fridges, which cost between $2000-5000 new. Due to the 24/7 unsupervised nature of community fridges, it’s often best to find a used one instead of purchasing a new fridge, as a fridge of any condition has an unsure shelf life on the sidewalk (an average of 8 months per fridge is not unheard of).
 In order to find fridge replacements, organizations that maintain such fridges will put a call out within their networks of local small businesses, recently closed restaurants, and other organizations that have networks of community fridges.
