As demand at food banks surged during the pandemic, so, too, have food activists’ desire to create small locations where anyone can pick up a few items at any time with no questions asked.
The fridge is run by Dion Dawson, 30, who said he began his location across the street from a playground just over a year ago. The organization primarily takes cash donations but not food giveaways, and it prefers to buy food from retailers. Dawson said that unlike most single fridges or networks of fridges, his group is a 501 nonprofit organization that has grown in the past year from a $20,000 budget to a $300,000 budget.
“It’s about solving the problem and making sure I run my organization with all of the pillars that are important to me and the community. It’s about transparency and quality and consistency,” he said. “We’re focused on the end user’s experience, and we’re focused on problem-solving and not focused on the problem.”
"They get descended upon, and it’s great, and it’s upsetting when you realize how many people are cold in a city like L.A.," she said."It’s an insatiable need that can’t be filled."
