Field notes
The workflow uses sealed, unopened share-table food packed in cold, insulated boxes and carried to a nearby recipient the same afternoon. The live totals are tied to a public delivery log; the page reports three partner schools, more than 20 student volunteers, four deliveries, and 89 pounds as of October 3, 2026. Its map notes distinguish real school pins and SNAP shading from hypothetical expansion, and disclose that the exact fridge location is not published.
