How does Braid Work?

Use the pool to collect donations and pay for expenses.
Share your Pool Link to collect donations
Family, friends, and community members can contribute to the community fridge fund without needing to sign-up.
Spend from the pool
Every Braid Pool comes with a free debit card, so volunteers can use it to purchase fresh produce, perishables, and other community fridge needs.
