In less than 10 minutes, five people open the doors of the community fridge and pantry just outside the Medlock Park neighborhood in Decatur, Georgia. Most are searching for fresh food and produce, or personal products such as toothpaste or diapers, donated by the community. The ATLFreeFridge stands in front of North Decatur Presbyterian Church. It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and anybody can take or donate food. 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. Perhaps the biggest change is a dedicated case manager for anyone who needs assistance.
