ALT A limey green background and text that reads: See You Around A letter from Jacqueline June 30, 2024 My time with Community Fridges HamOnt has come to an end. Because I’ve connected with so many of you and been referred to as “the founder”, I wanted to share a quick “see you around” (instead of “goodbye”). In the summer of 2020 we were in lockdown, and many of us were feeling the urgent need to support each other in whatever ways we could. At the time, for work, I was just house sitting for the family I nannied for, who was stuck abroad. I’m a food grower, passionate about food sovereignty. I have a busy brain and a little administrative experience. Community fridges felt like something I could help with. There was a group chat and then an Instagram. It was a bit of a slow start, but before we knew it, by the summer of 2021, we were operating three very busy 24/7 community fridges.

ALT Food Security Organizations Coalition statement on the siege of Gaza. The denial of access to food and water is a violation of international humanitarian law relating to the protection of civilians in times of war, including the Geneva Conventions and their protocols. We call for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the violence and the return of hostages and prisoners, as precursors to a just political process that will enable sustainable peace and security and build a basis for lasting food security. Finally, we call for the respect of international law and for an end to the use of food as a weapon of war.
