As more and more community fridges are installed in neighborhoods throughout the Boston area, it’s important to remember that in order to keep them stocked, well, we all need to stock them. On Saturday, the Dorchester Community Fridge will partner with the Milton Community Network and China Pearl to host a food drive. Suggested donations include fresh fruit and vegetables, pasta, rice, cereal, milk, eggs, cooking oils, cleaning supplies, and napkins, all of which can be dropped off from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. The Mattapan Community Fridge follows suit on Sunday, accepting donations from 11 a.m. to noon. Volunteers are still needed!
