I don't see the connection with what we were talking about but:

- soup kitchen are a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_kitchen

- community fridges too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_fridge

- and historically in france where I'm from, when we started having freezer technology it first appeared in shared houses for the whole village. People would go there once a day to fetch what they needed and would eat it. Can't find english sources but it seems very efficient. A least much more than every one having a fridge. https://france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/pays-de-la-loire/mayen...
