Community Fridge at Jam’It Bistro - Hashtag Lunchbag Brooklyn
Community Fridge location:
367 Columbia Street, outside of Jam’It Bistro
During the pandemic of 2020 Anaika Forbes, who established the Brooklyn branch of @Hashtag Lunchbag in 2016, teamed up with Tiffany Davis of the Red Hook Art Project (RHAP) and Dawn Skeete of Jam’It Bistro to set up a community fridge. The fridge is located outside of Jam’It Bistro, 367 Columbia Street, Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Jam’It Bistro has been a very strong and generous player in Red Hook mutual aid response to Covid including cooking free hot meals for months with the support of World Kitchen.
A second fridge was inaugurated in June 2021 outside of Fort Defiance restaurant and gourmet general store.
The general rules of the community fridges are:
- All items are free
- Take what you need
- Leave what you can
- Always practice saftey (masks, gloves, hand sanitizer)
- No raw meat
- Please date an label all foods
- No open or partially wrapped foods
- No prepared foods unless previously authorized
- Please keep fridge neat and clean
