Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Visit the fridge to take or leave food, or fill in the volunteer sign up form linked from the group's site to help out..
You can just show up. No sign up needed.
What to expect
Visiting means walking up to the fridge to take food or leave food; the site describes no check in. Volunteers do stocking, meal prep (packing containers and making sandwiches), driving food to and from the fridge, and upkeep such as cleaning. The site does not say how long a shift runs.
Tips for your first visit
- The site does not list hours, so call 215.226.1276 before you go to ask when the fridge is stocked.
- The location page gives the address only, with no transit or parking notes, so plan your trip before you go.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The fridge is open to anyone with no sign up to visit, and volunteers join through a public form. The pages do not describe how long a shift runs..
