Though we started as a short-term response to the pandemic, we have realized that we play a major role in solving hunger by transforming “food insecurity” into “meal security.”
In just over a year, Feed the Fridge has increased community food supply chains by:
Placing 22 refrigerators at recreation centers, schools and other locations in Washington, D.C., Montgomery County and Prince George’s County, Maryland.
Providing more than 75,000 (as of 8/1/21) free meals to anyone who needs them.
Through donations, paying participating restaurants more than $700,000 to provide meals, which in turn helps those restaurants stay open and pay employees.
Through Mark's emotional intelligence and philanthropic efforts he is meeting two needs, one to feed the hungry while supporting the restaurant industry in a time of need.
