Have you heard about the mutual aid community frid

Have you heard about the mutual aid community fridge projects happening across the country? They’re a grassroots network of fridges full of free food for anyone who needs it. Our LA delivery team found out about this initiative and decided to add a fridge location to their delivery route so they could drop off donated food a few days each week.

While community fridges are not a long-term solution to hunger, they are a beautiful example of the power collective action. To quote one of our drivers: "It filled my heart with joy seeing people able to enjoy our donated items." To learn more about the project, follow @lacommunityfridge and help spread the word!

As we mark Imperfect's 5th birthday this week, we want to celebrate YOU for helping make this impact possible. Whoever said one person couldn't make a difference in the fight against food waste obviously never met you!🗽🥕

What's the best way to celebrate Imperfect's 5th birthday? While there's no wrong way to celebrate, making a batch of these Carrot Cake Cookies would certainly be a sweet start. Our company was built around the idea that curvy carrots should be embraced and enjoyed just as much as picture-perfect ones. ⁠

This delightful recipe from @katiebirdbakes is one of our favorite ways to use up the carrots rolling around our crisper drawers right now. Head to the link in our bio to get baking! ⁠

There is not one perfect way to solve food waste.

There is not one perfect way to solve food waste. A problem as big and complex as this one is going to need a lot of collaboration and creativity to figure out. We're most empowered when we embrace the idea of "both/and" as opposed to an "either/or" mentality.

So buy just what you need, eat ugly produce, support legislation that reduces waste and expands SNAP benefits, get creative with your leftovers, and compost if you can! Then try doing more tomorrow. As you progress on your journey to wasting less food we encourage you to try new things, do your research, ask questions, and never be afraid of realizing you weren't doing something perfectly. We are all at an imperfect moment in our journey right now, but what matters most is that we keep going! Double tap if you're with us 💚
