Full Hearts Fridge
We’re building a community fridge in Sturgeon Bay to cut food waste and get nourishing meals to neighbors. Our food rescue efforts at the farmer's market and local restaurants will be directly stocking this fridge.

OUR PROJECTS
How we're creating lasting impact in Door County
DCMA projects are not individual crusades. We bring ideas to the group to see if there is general interest in pursuing a project. Once the project starts, folks can ask for support from other members. Any project DCMA embarks on is a team effort, and once we start something, we are expected to provide progress updates until it is finished.
ACTIVE PROJECTS
Have an idea?
Bring it to a monthly meeting! If it aligns with our principles and there are members who want to build it, we'll help get it off the ground.

PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS
Groups we work alongside
These organizations are not DCMA projects, but they share our values and we work alongside them in Door County. Supporting them is another way to plug into the broader network.
PARTNERS
Northern Door Activism
Grassroots organizing for social and political change in northern Door County, started by 5 women in response to the Roe v. Wade decision being overturned. They host events to get Door County residents civically engaged, help them meet candidates during the election season, and so much more! DCMA partnered with them on the massive county-wide food drive, Project Feed Our Neighbors, in 2025 when SNAP benefits were suspended.
