Story
A donated refrigerator will have a significant impact on the overall well-being of this food-insecure family. With reliable refrigeration, they can safely store fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and other nutritious foods that were previously out of reach due to lack of storage. This directly benefits the child’s health by supporting consistent access to balanced meals, which are essential for growth, development, and academic performance. For the family, it reduces stress around daily food planning, cuts down on food waste, and allows them to take advantage of food assistance programs more effectively. Ultimately, the refrigerator is more than just an appliance—it’s a step toward greater food security, stability, and improved quality of life for the entire household. This family has 3 children of various ages attending elementary and middle school and 3 adults living in the home. One adult is a stay at home care taker for an elderly relative.
