Welcome!
This site is a directory for the active community fridges across Massachusetts, and maybe some other related mutual aid projects that people would like to share!
You can download a flyer with all of the active community fridges and their addresses (that I know of) here. It was made in June 2025, and the format is PDF. If you need a different format, let me know.
If you have any updates, corrections, or additions, please email me!!!
Thank you for visiting!

WOBURN, MASSACHUSETTS HAS A COMMUNITY FRIDGE! Please stop by to add some food or meet some neighbors at 523 Main Street in Woburn. If you'd like to get involved, you can email the organizers via their contact form here. Please check out their donation guidelines, which are beautifully displayed on flyers in multiple languages. Finally, they have a GoFundMe page where you can donate funds to keep the fridge well stocked :) Be sure to share that around! More info on their website and on our sub-page about them here!! Congrats Woburn we love you!!
11/19/2025 The Watertown Fridge has a new home!!! Visit them to give or grab some food at The Watertown Public Library, 123 Main Street at the back/rear entrance. For quick drop offs, you can pull up curbside. For longer visits there is 30 minute parking next to the library. The library lot is metered parking. Learn more about supporting the Watertown Community Fridge at their website here!
7/28/2025 The JP Community Fridge has been replaced with one that works! Hooray for the commons and the community ❤ ❤ ❤

Some recent news:
About a month after the Brookline Community Fridge was ordered closed due to "health complaints", they were able to reopen with a new fridge shelter (with added pantry shelving). Here is the article about the fridge's reopening from 105.7fm WROR. The fridge is now being supported by a number of local organizations, and sponsored by two nearby shops. The health dept was clear that while community fridges don't require any permitting, they still may be shut down or incur fines due to sanitation concerns. This is one important example of why we all must do our part to keep these fridges going! I'll re-add this fridge to the sidebar later today.
Have received info from friends in JP that the fridge behind City Feed has not been cooling properly for over 8 months now. Lots of confusion about who the current core organizers are, and whether there is anyone actively involved at all. It is still regularly stocked by neighbors, and I'm assuming by City Feed, but the issue with cooling does raise some safety questions for me. Do you know of any efforts to repair or replace this fridge, or who may be the current organizers? Please let me know!!
