Montco Grocery Opens 'Community Fridge' To Fight Food Insecurity

AMBLER, PA — Community nonprofit and local grocer Weaver's Way is taking a unique new approach to fight hunger in Montgomery County.

The co-op is partnering with Germantown Academy to open a "community fridge" in front of their E. Butler Avenue storefront.

"The community fridge will be open 24/7 to assist those in the area dealing with food insecurity or facing additional barriers during regular store operating hours," organizers said.

Some items in the fridge include eggs, milk, non-dairy milk, fruits, produce, bread, pastries, packaged meals, cooked meats, and seafood. There will also be dry goods available nearby.

Students at Germantown Academy have even donated the outside of the fridge with handcrafted magnets.

Weaver's Way is located on 217 E. Butler Avenue.
