Despite Newton’s image as an affluent suburb, too many of our neighbors struggle to put food on their tables. On March 14th, Newton will have a new, free, supplemental food program that is available at all times and in all weather for anyone!

The Newton Freedge, an outdoor refrigerator and pantry, will be located at 420 Washington Street, Nonantum, graciously hosted by Mark Levine in the parking lot of Central Drapery and Dry Cleaning.

This all volunteer-run initiative, led by the Newton Food Pantry in collaboration with a diverse group of Newton organizations, will have teams monitor and clean the Freedge and stock it with prepared food and other items donated from local businesses.

How Can You Help? Spread the word to those who need food. The Freedge is open to anyone, no questions asked and no sign up needed. Help build momentum, join the Newton Freedge Facebook Group and follow the Freedge on Instagram.Donate items to the Freedge. Please review donation guidelines here.
