Donations of all kinds
Various products and commodities can be donated, such as vegetables, bread, dairy products, and cans.
Sara Maria Daubisse also mentions many other essential products, in particular feminine hygiene products.
I try to educate people about products like menstrual products because they are essential, but people seldom think about it.
However, some products are not accepted, such as meat, seafood, alcohol, expired foods, or even homemade dishes.
According to volunteers, initiatives like community refrigerators are helping to prevent crime and make neighborhoods in the capital safer.
In order to be able to help as many people as possible, there must be more volunteers, and the initiative must be open to everyone.
