“Feeding Memphis, One Fridge at a Time”
Podcast Sponsor: Bluff City Magazine www.bluffcitymagazine.com
In this inspiring episode of Pulse of The Bluff, we spotlight a powerful grassroots movement reshaping how Memphis addresses food insecurity: the 901 Community Fridge Network.
Discover how a decentralized network of 24/7 community-run fridges and dry goods pantries, located at local churches and community hubs, is breaking barriers to food access—no appointments, no IDs, no income checks. Just neighbors helping neighbors, guided by the simple but powerful motto: “Take what you need, give what you can.”
We dive deep into the mission, impact, and volunteer-powered model behind the five fridge locations across Memphis, and explore how everyday people are stepping up to fill a vital gap—empowering communities, reducing food waste, and restoring dignity.
Learn about:
Where to find and contribute to a fridge
What you can (and shouldn’t) donate
The power of decentralized, community-led mutual aid
How you can get involved—whether through time, donations, or spreading the word
Let’s keep Memphis fed—one fridge, one neighbor, one act of kindness at a time.
