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.” ) 🙄

Ballots went out this week and it's never been more important than it is now to support these candidates.

They will work for a better Chico for all of us, not just a handful of wealthy developers. Their priorities include better roads, more affordable housing, protecting our parks and waterways, and helping us build a more climate and fire-resilient city, all things we desperately need. The school board candidates will work to ensure that our children get an excellent education and have a level playing field and opportunities to succeed.
