Change Food

East Village Neighbors Community Fridge and Pantry
The East Village Neighbors Fridge was founded in fall 2020 by Change Food, East Village Neighbors (a group founded by Change Food founder Diane Hatz), and S'MAC, a restaurant at 12th St and 1st Avenue where the fridge is located. The fridge is open 24/7 and is maintained by neighborhood volunteers and stocked with food donations from local businesses and cash donations from area residents. The founders estimate the fridge is feeding up to 2,000 people a week.

Plant Eat Share
Plant Eat Share is a creative effort to encourage growing and/or providing healthy food for free in communities around the world. Change Food will aggregate groups and programs already working in some way to provide healthy food for free to communities, as well as host plantings in designated areas across the US and world. Plant Eat Share will template and encourage other communities to adapt and replicate these programs, as well as to develop new ways to grow and offer food for free. This is being done all in an effort to create a global movement of individuals and groups growing food in their community for all to eat and enjoy.
