Note: for the purpose of these lists, “fridges” refers to locations where people can freely drop off or take food and household items (there may or may not be an actual refridgerator). “Pantries” are more restrictive, allowing people to pick up food/items only at specific times, with the help of volunteers (supplies are generally donated ahead of time).
