The give_box proposal specifically said that food sharing was *not* to
be included in the give_box schema.

I voted for that, but since then, with the proposal stalled, I ran into
what I'd called a give box for "packaged food & personal care items."
It's labeled "free pantry" but it's not just for food.

actually cans of food in here but not visible in this shot.)

Also hiker boxes -- which were explicitly part of the give_box proposal
-- often have food as well as clothing, gear, books, maps, and fuel. So
maybe the prohibition of food in give_box isn't ideal.

Regardless, though, I don't think a public refrigerator should be a
subtag of give_box -- it's too distinct. I think
amenity=public_refrigerator makes sense. Using amenity=social_facility
plus a subtag would also be fine I guess.
