Stock and clean an invited Eastside community fridge (2026-08-03)

A community fridge along the Milpas Street corridor only stays useful if someone keeps it clean and stocked, and the neighborhood's dense housing means many residents rely on it. A regular stock-and-clean round keeps the fridge safe and worth checking. Standard: Community fridge network best-practice guidance; food-sustainability: SDG 2. Proof: Photo of the cleaned, stocked fridge with temperature note Method (Community fridge network best-practice guidance; food-sustainability: SDG 2.): 1. Check the fridge temperature is in a safe range. 2. Remove any spoiled or expired items. 3. Wipe down shelves and surfaces. 4. Restock with any food brought for the round. 5. Photograph the cleaned, stocked fridge with GPS and date. Done when: Photo of fridge before and after with GPS/date; Temperature check note; List of items removed or restocked

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 60–120 minutes. Method of record: Michelin Green Star-style 7-criterion sustainability scorecard

Bring

• tablet/clipboard
• camera
• scale (waste weighing scope)
• 7-criterion rubric

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site + address; arrange a staff escort for back-of-house.
2. 2. Photograph evidence for each criterion: sourcing, waste stream, energy, water, procurement records, seasonality, team practices.
3. 3. Score each of the 7 criteria against the rubric with an evidence note.
4. 4. For a waste audit, weigh or estimate food waste for one service and identify recovery/donation options.
5. 5. Rank the highest-impact improvement recommendations.
6. 6. Enter scores, evidence notes, waste data, recommendations, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Food-safety or hygiene hazard observed -> note and defer to staff; documentation only.
• Significant edible waste -> recommend the EPA Food Recovery Hierarchy (donation before disposal).

What counts as done

• Photo of fridge before and after with GPS/date
• Temperature check note
• List of items removed or restocked

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Food Sustainability, Green Star Scorecard. Food sustainability, as the Michelin Green Star frames it, is a whole kitchen examined honestly across seven fronts: where the food comes from, what gets wasted, what the stoves and coolers burn, how water is used, how things are bought, whether the menu follows the seasons, and how the team is treated. Mastery looks like a restaurant that could open its books on all seven and be proud. Scorecards like that are filled in one observed fact at a time. This packet gathers some of those facts, plainly and without flattery.
