Fridges of free food set up to help address food insecurity in Denver By KUSA staff | January 12, 2021 at 10:51 AM EST - Updated January 12 at 11:17 AM DENVER (KUSA/CNN) - An effort to keep people fed during the pandemic is picking up steam. A fridge full of free food is helping those in need and giving people a chance to show how much they care. It’s been a busy couple of months for Eli Zain, the founder of the Denver Community Fridge Project. Zain moved to Colorado just last year, but it didn’t take long for the 24-year-old to see there was a lot of need in Denver.
