New Community Refrigerator Opens to Fight Food Insecurity in Newark

NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) — A new community food pantry has opened in Newark, providing not only canned goods, but fresh items, including meat and dairy.

“These community refrigerators are essentially accessible 24/7,” said Heather Thompson, Executive Director of Table to Table. “The beauty of the refrigerator is that it can stock those items that tend to be more expensive and more difficult for people to get.”
