Solar Updates at Patchwork Farms

In June of 2025, we did a full overhaul and upgrade on the Chicago Patchwork Farms Love Fridge (2825 W Chicago Ave) in Humboldt Park. Improvements were made to the shelter, plus a bigger fridge and more robust pantry were installed. But the biggest improvement was upgraded solar capacity, all thanks to Keyante Aytch / Daze of Autonomy and his amazing crew. The entire shelter and fridge received a fresh glow up by the super talented @chemaskandal .

We had a community celebration for the new and improved site, stocked it full of food several times over, gave out free screen printed totes (fridge dude illustration also by Chema Skandal), explained some ways that anyone can get involved, shared some hot meals with our comrades @orangetentproject and enjoyed a beautiful summer day with friends and neighbors.

Please feel free to visit this fridge 24/7 to donate or take food 🥦🥚🥫🥪 or give it a good wipe down. As always, take what you need and leave what you can 💗.
