Share Your Extras
Each year, New York City sends over 1 million tons of food waste to landfills. Much of it is still perfectly good to eat. Instead of tossing out healthy, unused food, bring it to The Friendly Fridge BX Food Hub.
A few extra minutes of your time can change someone’s day. You’ll help reduce hunger, cut down on harmful greenhouse gases, and show love for both your community and the planet we share.
And Pick Up Some Extras, too!
Food waste is a major driver of climate change—if it were a country, it would be the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. At The Friendly Fridge BX Food Hub, we’re working to shift the narrative. This isn’t just about helping those in need—it’s about all of us stepping up and taking collective responsibility for the food we waste."
Sharing extra food should be the norm, not the exception. When we treat edible leftovers as a community resource instead of trash, we nourish ourselves, friends, and families, protect the climate, and build a more connected, caring city—together.
Spread The Word
Help spread the word that 68% of food waste in NYC is still edible—and none of it needs to go to waste! It’s completely legal to donate edible food to The Friendly Fridge BX, a registered nonprofit organization.
The more we talk about doing things differently—and then actually put those ideas into action—the better our climate future will be, and the more likely it is that everyone will have something to eat.
