Community fridges and food pick-up services give back to the communities we work in.

Fancy Picnic will supply a free community fridge to any studio - or any business neighboring a studio - that is interested in hosting a community fridge. Our team also offers a free food pick-up service to any film set in New York.

In a city that has everything, no one should go hungry.

Our Approach

As the industry moves to become more sustainable, an essential component is to reduce food waste on set. Productions regularly throw away hundreds of pounds of food a day. Its estimated by the organization Earth Angels, that for the average large budget film 72 tons of food is wasted.

Community fridges fall under the Good Samaritan Laws. Any business hosting a community fridge is legally protected -there has never been a lawsuit filed against a business for having a community fridge in the US.

If you have leftover food please call or text us at 415.717.9870 and we will take it to community fridges or nonprofits around the city.
