Hey fridge fam! Our pantry at Mifflin Square Park was found destroyed today by one of our neighbors who was dropping off food. This location is temporarily closed while we figure out what happened and work to find a solution.

With the weather warming up we want to remind everyone to please stop putting raw meat and dairy in the community pantries. We have community fridge locations that you can find here: southphillyfridge.com/locations TLDR: please donate food in a way that YOU would like to receive it!

It’s a beautiful week in the neighborhood ✨
