Step 2: Feel Good Fridge team works with Feeding America® food banks to find local nonprofits and schools all over the country to host these refrigerators.

Step 3: With the help of local volunteers, the refrigerators are stocked weekly with fresh, healthy food from Feeding America® and other food partners.

Step 4: Members of the community visit Feel Good Fridge locations to receive free, fresh foods!
