Community Fridges Across the Country Are Fighting Food Insecurity | Eater
"Housed at an urban aquaponic farm and workspace, this fridge was set up as both a food resource and an activist hub: organizers have used donated fresh produce to sustain protesters and to support community political and social education. Framed as an act of resistance to local food apartheid and racist city planning that concentrates environmental hazards and limits access to healthy food, the site connects urban agriculture, mutual aid, and movement-building while drawing attention to structural health disparities affecting the neighborhood." - Dayna Evans
This an amazing and supportive space for artist, teachers and creatives. This space provides opportunities for the community to come together and offers workshops to enrich the youth.
