The New Orleans Community Fridges are grassroots mutual aid spaces that provide free food to anyone who needs it. They are stocked by volunteers, local residents, and small businesses who believe food is a basic right.
As a part of my undergraduate capstone, I am completing an informational design project, aimed at increasing access to community fridges across New Orleans. Through a user-friendly digital platform and printed resources, the project centralizes scattered information and makes food resources easier to locate, understand, and use.
