Why this petition matters

Started by Vancouver Free Fridge

The Vancouver Free Fridge is the first ever community fridge and pantry in downtown Vancouver, WA.  We seek cooperation between neighbors for the sake of the common good, specifically to tackle both food waste and food insecurity.  We are providing our neighbors with healthy, nutritious food in solidarity and without stigma. We have volunteers from the community working around the clock to ensure food safety.

Despite all safety precautions, including having built a professional weatherproof shelter to protect the fridge and pantry, this mutual aid project is under siege by local Vancouver municipal code enforcement. In order to comply with their regulations, we'll need funding and community support. Please sign this petition encouraging the city to change the laws to accommodate aid projects like this one, and to show support for this community led project.

Where systems fail, the community can take care of itself in solidarity---not charity. Help us tell the City of Vancouver that we are here, the community wants us here, we ARE the community, and we need to Free the Food from their red tape (and from the landfill) so we can feed the people! Please sign and share, share, share!
