Out of respect for privacy, Modern Farmer is withholding the last names of several users of the community fridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In a span of less than 10 minutes, no fewer than five people open the doors of the bright yellow community fridge and pantry just outside the <\/span>Medlock Park neighborhood<\/span><\/a> in Decatur, Georgia. Most come here searching for fresh food and produce, or personal products such as toothpaste or diapers, donated by the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI come here about three times a week,\u201d says Anne. She depends on the food, especially fresh produce, to supplement her diet. \u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for this fridge, I definitely wouldn\u2019t get to eat as healthy as I do,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing what people donate.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The community fridge, known as <\/span>ATLFreeFridge<\/span><\/a>, stands in front of <\/span>North Decatur Presbyterian Church<\/span><\/a>. The goal is to <\/span>provide free food<\/span><\/a> and help reduce food waste. It\u2019s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and anybody can take or donate food.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ATLFreeFridge was one of six installed in 2020 as part of the volunteer initiative <\/span>Free99Fridge<\/span><\/a> started by former Atlantan and activist Latisha Springer. Her goal was to maintain community fridges and pantries across metro Atlanta to help combat food insecurity and waste. (Springer ran the program until she left Atlanta to pursue other opportunities.) Initially, all of the fridges were a success.<\/span><\/p>\n

But unlike the fridge at the church, the others <\/span>depended on local businesses<\/span><\/a> such as coffee shops and breweries for their spaces and electricity. When Springer left the program, the fridge sponsors had to choose whether to keep their fridges or close them down. Only North Decatur Presbyterian Church chose to keep its fridge, renaming it ATLFreeFridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, volunteers install, clean and monitor the ATLFreeFridge. They donate the food, hygiene products and dry goods, and make sure no food is expired or goes bad. Most of the fresh food comes from the neighboring community, although a team of volunteers coordinate food pickups from local restaurants, farms, and grocery stores that also provide tons of fresh food.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a new idea here when I first heard about it,\u201d says Monique. \u201cIt was unusual because it was a mutual aid project instead of a non-profit. It was so smart and done with respect. There were no questions asked whether you were donating or coming for food.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

But neighbors in Medlock Park had a lot of questions early on. They expressed their concerns to the church and volunteer coordinators about things such as sanitation, people lingering at the fridge, and homeless encampments that began popping up. Most reservations, though, were about safety around the neighborhood. Those were exacerbated in 2022 after a man who appeared to be having a mental health crisis <\/span>threw the contents of the fridge into the street<\/span><\/a>, some at passing cars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why, Nancy Gathany, a church member on the ATLFreeFridge executive committee, says the church doubled down to keep the fridge rather than close it. \u201cI\u2019m sure it was stressful for the other commercial businesses [hosting fridges] because they become magnets for unhoused people,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it\u2019s hard to ignore the needs of so many people coming to our fridge. It hits you in the face.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Co-pastor Rev. David Lewicki held a meeting in October 2022 to address community fears. They\u2019ve since established rules for fridge shoppers, including new boundaries on the campus grounds, although there\u2019s rarely a time without someone loitering around the fridge. The church also now enforces no overnight sleeping, but it still happens off church grounds on occasion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Take<\/p>\n

North Decatur Presbyterian now provides local resource information, including temporary housing, legal assistance, employment services, and child and pet care, to users and has designated parking spaces to address concerns about traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest change is the church now has a dedicated case manager for anyone who needs assistance. He\u2019s available once a week and sees about four clients on average, helping them get health care, housing, and employment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe congregation is very supportive of the case manager,\u201d says Gathany. \u201cWe are really trying to get the shoppers past their struggles.\u201d Between August 2023 and March 2024, he had nearly 100 client meetings, Gathany says, and assisted several families get off the streets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, not all the shoppers at the fridge are homeless. Gathany says the fridge feeds more families who come in cars, but they have so many singles who come on foot, and are down on their luck. The 2020 poverty rate in Dekalb County for <\/span>children aged 5-17 was 26.6 percent<\/span><\/a>, much higher than the state average of 18.8 percent. That number improved to 18.6 percent in 2022 (the latest numbers available), but it\u2019s still higher than the state average of 16.3 percent. And with poverty comes food insecurity, whether it\u2019s because of lack of money, long waits for SNAP benefits, or a lack of transportation.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, <\/span>according to Feeding America<\/span><\/a>, the number of food-insecure children in Dekalb County where the fridge is located <\/span>hovered around 21 percent<\/span><\/a> in 2022 (the latest numbers available), much higher than the county\u2019s overall rate of 11.2 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat many don\u2019t realize is that some of these people are coming from the neighborhood,\u201d says Monique. \u201cSometimes, people are ashamed that they don\u2019t have enough money for food. The fridge is one great place they can go for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Still, some neighbors who support the fridge are still hesitant to do so. \u201cThose who are gathering there are a deterrent to my donating,\u201d says local Kern Thompson. \u201cI can only assume that I\u2019m not the only person who\u2019s cut back donating because of their presence.\u201d The fridge has become a hangout, of sorts, which can be both a good and bad thing when it comes to prospective donations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Medlock resident Monica Morgan says that\u2019s one reason she consistently donates. \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve been there, there\u2019s such a need,\u201d she explains. \u201cThere are people waiting\u2014families\u2014who are just down on their luck. But I\u2019ve never felt uncomfortable dropping off food. All the people seem very grateful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Take<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, nearly four years to the day the fridge was first installed, there is still support for the ATLFreeFridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not without controversy. During the writing of this piece, on July 9, the fridge was vandalized again. An unknown person cut the electrical wire, destroying the fridge and taking it out of commission for nearly a week until volunteers could find a new one. Gathany says she has no idea who did it or why, but that doesn\u2019t change the demonstrated need.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that we even need this fridge shows us where our society is failing,\u201d says Gathany. \u201cEverybody is having a hard time, not just the homeless. There\u2019s never going to be anything that 100 percent of the community supports. But the church is doing this because it\u2019s the church\u2019s business.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
