While over 40 community fridges are listed around New York
City, none of them were in the eastern part of the Bronx – until Saturday.
Organized by East Bronx Mutual Aid and the East Bronx
Democrats, the new fridge outside of Rivera Deli in Clason Point will provide
free food to anyone in the area who needs it.
It will be stocked with fruits and vegetables bought by
local businesses.
According to Hunger Free America, one in four Bronx
residents is currently facing food insecurity.
