The Barrio Fridge is a mutual aid initiative led by two Black and Brown women who are combating the health food disparity in East Harlem. 

Volunteers stock the fridge several times a day with end of day farm fresh produce and rescued prepared meals from restaurants, bakeries, brands, and even a museum partner. 

We upcycle thousands of pounds of food each month to share with our community and the greater fridge network of Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Our goal is to provide free access to foods that not only fuel, but heal our neighbors.
