The Bexley Freedge
The City of Bexley is proud to launch our very first freedge (free+fridge)—a free community refrigerator and freezer aimed at reducing food waste and helping our neighbors in need. Think of it like a Little Free Pantry, but with the ability to safely store fresh, perishable, and frozen foods. The Bexley Freedge is open to the public and offers a simple way for individuals and businesses to share extra food that might otherwise go to waste, while also serving as a resource for anyone in need to take what they need, no questions asked.
To help this succeed, we would appreciate volunteer assistance in the form of donations and periodic checks to ensure the facility is in clean and in good working order. Of course, unscheduled donations are always welcomed!
Thanks to the Bexley Community Foundation and No Child Goes Hungry for sponsoring this program to help those in and nearby our community requiring assistance for fresh, nutritious food.
Thank you for your support!
Hours of Operation: All day, every day
Location: North of the North Bexley Community Garden, on Delmar
