The Calming Leaf Foundation

Wow we came a long way with this but the white paper is published under our site’s new resources tab.

This white paper aims to address a few main things:

1️⃣ it underscores the mission of our organization regarding community fridges, and why we believe they will be effective in Baltimore city

2️⃣ it addresses some of the pushback we heard from speaking with local leaders when it comes to creating and maintaining community fridges

3️⃣ serve as a research document for any and everyone to use. The sources are all listed and include a number of historical document scans developed by other local organizations

I want to thank Alyah Kanso, Bernie Del Prado, Daniella Castaldo, and McKinley Seaver for all their hard work and research.

Also thank you to Ann Guo for editing this paper and pushing it to be even better and more comprehensive. What started as a short 3-4 page paper turned into a well thought out 22 page analysis that achors a core element of our mission

Check it out and feel free to share your thoughts!
