RVA Community Fridges on mutual aid: Mutual aid means that we each give from our own abundance. RVA Community Fridges is about more than free food. It's neighbors helping neighbors. It's sharing our abundance and receiving what we need. It's creating/taking back space - for the people, by the people. It's about building a more resilient community.

RVA Community Fridges is an organization dedicated to providing food to those who have little access to it in the Richmond area to learn more about the organization click here.
