Heart of Longmont is home to a Longmont Community Fridge in partnership with Longmont Food Rescue!
Longmont Food Rescue’s mission is to create a more just and equitable food system by redistributing nutritious food that retailers have deemed food “waste” directly to individuals in Longmont who are experiencing food insecurity. Through the creation of partnerships with local retailers, restaurants, food producers, and nonprofits, they have created a community-led initiative that promotes food justice and supports sustainability goals. Visit Longmont Food Rescue’s website to learn more about this amazing non-profit.
The fridge is located near the Blessing Box on the northwest corner of our building. Longmont Food Rescue will be providing some food to stock the fridge, but, like our Blessing Box, this is a collaborative community effort. Feel free to contribute as you are able or take food as needed. Please read these community guidelines for instructions for donating or taking food.
