There is a wonderful program popping up in cities all around the U.S. where mutual aid groups are getting volunteers to donate space and refrigerators in areas to provide access to free meals and ingredients that houseless or food insecure people might not otherwise be able to get. NW Veg wants to find an army of volunteers to help us stock these fridges with meals and ingredients that are dairy/meat/egg free for folks who cannot or choose not to eat foods with those in it. You can stock it with something as simple as vegan cheeses/milks/babyfood/butter/nut butters/bread, etc or depending on the fridge program you're dropping off to you can make a meal and put it in a to-go container for folks to grab.

To sign up and get information on:
-Which fridges are in your area that need re-stocking
-Current rules and restrictions on what can and cannot be donated
-Protocols on how to safely handle/prepare food
-Recipes for fast and simple vegan dishes that the community has requested

Please email danielle@nwveg.org and we can send you all that info and answer any questions you may have.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, home accessories, building materials and appliances to the public at a fraction of the retail price. Habitat for Humanity ReStores are owned and operated by local Habitat for Humanity affiliates, and proceeds are used to build strength, stability and self-reliance locally and around the world. We are currently down in part time staff and we have a need to paint some interior walls. This will not only serve to improve the image of the building, but provide a basic level of protection for the brick underneath. We would also like this to lead to other construction related projects in the future, and we hope this can serve as an introduction to our ReStore and Dubois Habitat as a whole.
