Three local organizations have joined forces to tackle food insecurity in our community. Visible Records, Common Field Community Garden, and Plenty recently launched Charlottesville’s Little Free Fridge, which provides 24/7 access to foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, bread, canned goods, dairy products, and prepackaged Plenty meals. According to reports from Feeding America, food insecurity affects 8.4 percent of Albemarle County residents, and 11.8 percent of city residents. Community members are encouraged to take what they need, and give what they can. The fridges, freezer, and pantry space are located in a vibrantly painted shed in the Visible Records’ parking lot at 1740 Broadway St. Anyone interested in dropping off goods should visit visible-records.com/freefridge and @littlefreefridgecville on Instagram for donation guidelines.
