The primary aim of the public fridges here in Switzerland (example [1]) are clearly to reduce food waste by sharing food (give something and take something else), not to provide food for the poor (although they can of course use them too). Therefore, amenity=social_facility doesn't fit.

Maybe it would have made sense to put all reusing facilities together in amenity=reuse or similar, but with already 5,538 uses of amenity=public_bookcase it's probably too late.
