Those struggling with food insecurity now have a 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week option to stock their shelves: The newly opened Newton Community “Freedge.”
“Based on the operating principle of ‘take what you need, leave what you can,’ the NCFC [Newton Community Freedge Collaborative] will coordinate volunteer teams to monitor, clean, and stock the Freedge with a wide variety of perishable and nonperishable items,” according to the group.
The Newton Food Pantry created this volunteer-led initiative. The Freedge, an outdoor refrigerator and pantry, will be located in a donated parking lot space at Central Drapery and Dry Cleaning at 420 Watertown St.
