A new community fridge in Bushwick is being packed with fresh fruits and veggies in order to help feed the hungry and is being stocked and maintained by people with disabilities.
"When they see the people in the neighborhood saying ‘Thank you for doing this,’" said Monica Santos, the Chief Operations Officer of Services for the UnderServed, "When they see people lining up, when they see those people out at other places, and people then know, ‘Oh you did that for us,’ it really gives people a sense of value."
Deliveries are every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. People will line up for the fridge, waiting for the fresh food. But supplies go fast, which is why community donations are greatly appreciated, as the fridge is open 24 hours a day.
