Food insecurity affects up to 1 in 4 people in the North State. 1 in 4 children in the community report going hungry, and nearly 50% of Chico State Students also report struggling to purchase food. Many working families find themselves running low on food between paychecks as well. The community fridge creates a very simple way for people to help their neighbors, and for those in need to get food when they need it.

This is the second location of the much-beloved community fridge. The last one was removed after neighbors, led by Tim Lynch, petitioned the city to have it removed. (You may be familiar with Lynch from his hyperbolic rants to the Chico ER, like suggesting that voting for progressive council members was a step towards a “thousand years of darkness.” ) 🙄
