Bright yellow ‘community refrigerators' pop up to feed those in need across Philadelphia


Community refrigerators have been installed and stocked in parts of Philadelphia to alleviate food insecurity. Finding an ideal location requires knowing the needs of a community as well as its capacity to keep refrigerators stocked with fresh produce. The Community Fridge Project placed refrigerators in different neighborhoods across North Philadelphia after researching how the idea was launched and implemented in other cities like New York and Los Angeles.
