New community fridge opens on Worcester's Portland Street
WORCESTER — The city’s latest community fridge opened here on Sunday, as organizers set their sights on even more locations.
The fridge located at 44 Portland St. — like the first one that Worcester Community Fridges opened at Fantastic Pizza & Café, 910 Main St. just over a month ago — allows anyone to drop off or take food, 24 hours a day.
Another organization, Worcester Free Fridges, has also opened a public fridge at 300 Southbridge St., next to the Miss Worcester Diner.
“It’s all about normalizing free food exchange,” said Maria Ravelli, one of the founders of the Worcester Community Fridges project.
