“Working with the Mott Haven Fridge has been very rewarding. I get to help people and get some knowledge about what is going on in the neighborhoods. Not only do I get to help my community, I get to see them help each other. Whether helping me clean or donating. Which means that one seed of kindness (the fridge) is growing into a field of dreams.”

“Volunteering with the Mott Haven Fridge has really helped me to feel like a part of my community. Everyone needs help in some way at some time, so I feel proud to know that I’m able to help at a time when someone needs it.”

“Volunteering with Mott Haven Fridge is so rewarding: for families that we help and for my children to see how we can make a difference.“

“Our family loves Mott Haven Fridge. Stocking a community fridge with my kids offers them a real time window on how they can impact people in need. My hope is that they collect these experiences and continue acts of charitable giving of all kinds in their own adult lives.”

“Working with Mott Haven Fridge has been a unique and rewarding experience. The positivity that comes from the community, Dan and the other volunteers has been palpable and invigorating. I look forward to the experience at each juncture.”

“Volunteering with Mott Haven Fridge is a half hour commitment once a week that has an immeasurable impact on the community. The need is real. On my last trip I couldn’t unload the car fast enough, people we’re starting to line up for the food. It doesn’t get any realer than that.”
