# Charitable Food ATMs This Free Food Fridge is Operated by a Local Church in West Delhi, India By Alyson Wyers | Published 2016-04-30 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-food-fridge References: [mashable](http://mashable.com/2016/04/29/delhi-church-free-food-summer/) Based in Delhi, India, this church provides hungry members of the local community with a free food fridge so they can help themselves. The Share N Care refrigerator is located in Janakpuri in west Dehli, serving the poor and hungry as well as the laborers and rickshaw drivers working in the area. It has been especially popular with school children too. Installed last Sunday by the Mar Gregorious Orthodox Church, the free food fridge is stocked daily with sandwiches, fresh fruit and cold water. They plan on staying open throughout the swelteringly hot summer months, which is key in keeping the population nourished and hydrated in extreme weather conditions. This is a charitable solution to hunger that takes climate conditions and long commutes into account. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Charity](https://www.trendhunter.com/charity) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Charitable Food Atms:** This trend involves the creation of free food fridges or ATMs that provide food to the hungry and needy. - **Local Community Initiatives:** This trend highlights the growing importance of local communities in addressing issues such as hunger and poverty. - **Climate-conscious Solutions:** This trend emphasizes the need to consider climate conditions when providing food assistance to vulnerable populations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Nonprofit Organizations:** Nonprofit organizations can explore the opportunity to create and manage free food fridges or ATMs to help address hunger in their communities. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can collaborate with charitable initiatives to donate surplus food to free food fridges or ATMs. - **Technology:** The technology industry can contribute by developing innovative solutions, such as smart refrigerators or food inventory management systems, to support charitable food initiatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Refrigerated Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redyref-smart-food-fridge.md) - [Pop-Up Reverse Supermarkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-supermarket.md) - [Workplace Smart Fridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraiche.md) - [Meatless Vending Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatless-farm-apm.md) - [Modern Mobile Fridge Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amity.md) - [Accessible Healthy Food Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healthy-food-initiative.md) - [Hybrid Community Supermarkets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-after-market.md) - [Charitable Hunger Relief Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-banks-canada1.md) - [Charitable Grocer Meal Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holidays-without-hunger.md)
