Harlem’s 155th Street Community Fridge

In the bustling streets of Harlem, the 155th Street Fridge has become a beacon of hope, defying food waste and tackling hunger one fresh produce at a time. For nearly six vibrant years, this community-led initiative has been rescuing fruits and veggies headed for the trash and transforming them into nutritious blessings for the neighborhood. Run by spirited volunteers the project invites everyone to partake in their ‘family’ feast every Saturday, ensuring no neighbor is left wanting. As one participant lovingly puts it, “We all family out here.” This isn’t just about food — it’s about nurturing community roots and sharing with love.
