Access to high quality, nutritious food can be a challenge for many within our community. In response, a group of volunteers have created a Community Fridge in Utica to help address this need.
A group of volunteers, Troy Lockwood, Liz Horner, Amanda Kendic, and Hana Selimovic worked with an artist to repurpose a fridge - well, it s still a fridge - but it s also so much more.
According to the group, A community fridge isn’t charity, a community fridge is an exercise in Mutual Aid. Maintained, stocked, cleaned and rotated by a core group of local volunteers and in partnership with local grocers, a community fridge reduces food waste, and increases accessibility to healthy, high-quality food to people that are not as easily able to access inexpensive groceries.
