Adopt a Community Fridge- Cleaning Crew

Adopt a Fridge- Cleaning Crew 

Imagine opening a fridge when you're hungry and finding it clean, fresh and full of healthy food.  That's what our community fridges mean to families & individuals across Wilmington- and YOU can help make it possible. 

We're building a Community Fridge Cleaning Crew: caring volunteers who make sure our public fridges stay safe, welcoming and ready for anyone in need.  In less than 30 minutes, you can make a direct difference for dozens of neighbors who rely on these fridges daily for fresh accessible food; fresh produce, meals and essentials.  

What You'll Do:

  • Clean and sanitize fridge shelves and door handles
  • Discard expired, spoiled or leaking items
  • Reorganize and tidy the contents
  • Sweep around the fridge area if needed

What to Bring:

  • Sanitizing wipes or spray
  • Paper towels or cloths
  • Disposable gloves (optional)
  • Trash bag (for any spoiled items)
