Fareground Statement Regarding Beacon’s Community Fridges
Introduction
Fareground has centered our local community for the past 13 years with a mission to provide access to nourishing food. In the past few weeks, one of our programs — Beacon Community Fridges — has come under question regarding safety, maintenance, and effectiveness.
While these developments have been difficult, we believe in meeting challenges with transparency, collaboration, and care.
What’s For Dinner?
Fareground Launches Free Community Dinners every Friday!
You can find out on Fareground’s social media pages (FB & IG) where their Welcome Table community meal menus are posted each week. This week it might be Italian, next week it could be Mexican, Asian, or other cultural fare, but whatever it is, there is always a vegan option, and it is always free and open to the public.
Times Union: The nonprofit personalizing the fight against food insecurity
Fareground leans into mutual aid to help people in need
Campaigns to fight food insecurity are growing in the Hudson Valley, driven by increased demand since the pandemic. But one organization is enlisting the help of local farms, food banks, businesses and families to create a more personalized experience for shoppers with a focus on high-quality, diversified food.
Fareground Has a New Home!
Fareground has found it’s long-term home!! We just moved up the road in Beacon to 37 Lamplight Street (formerly Mary Kelly’s Restaurant). We are so thrilled to share this lovely spot with our friends and long-time neighbors, the congregation of Star of Bethlehem Church.
