Community fridges serve those in need in Philadelphia's food deserts
PHILADELPHIA - Community fridges aren't exactly new to Philadelphia, but you may be surprised at just how many there are across Philadelphia.For everyone involved, it's a point of community pride."The importance of being able to provide free food in a community that's consistently overlooked by its own powers that be, it's just absolutely unbelievable," said Sonam and Sonia Parikh.The fridges are a growing trend that started before the coronavirus pandemic, but they've expanded since then.Basically, people are just putting refrigerators in various locations and just filling them up with food.
