About SEATTLE COMMUNITY FRIDGE

Seattle Community Fridge is a mutual aid group whose work strives to curb food insecurity on occupied Duwamish land by providing healthy food in our fridges and pantries, available directly to communities. Seattle Community Fridge believes that food scarcity is a myth and that all people need and deserve access to food. With inspiration and support from groups such as LA Community Fridge and In Our Hearts NYC, SCF was created in July 2020. The group is composed of community members and operates non-hierarchically with group consensus for ideas and decision-making. We have no office, no overhead, and no staff; all of us are community members just like you and the people we serve. All our efforts and the donations we receive are dedicated to ensuring that our neighbors are fed.

What is Mutual Aid?

Mutual aid is solidarity, not charity. Everyone looks out for one another, gives what they can, and takes what they need. Mutual aid is a community-led solution for meeting those needs and filling the gaps. Mutual Aid acknowledges the fact that well-intentioned charity work can often lead to paternalism and exacerbation of the inequities underlying poverty and hunger. It actively seeks to avoid this trap.
