ETC Produce & Provisions originally introduced the free fridge to Over-the-Rhine in October 2020. A few months later, they partnered with The Welcome Project to land The Fridge etc.’s forever home in Camp Washington in December 2020. Their mission is to not only feed hungry people but to reduce food waste as well. So far, the concept has welcomed efforts from a variety of contributors, including local chefs and other members of the community. / Image: Kellie Coleman // Published: 1.7.21<p></p>
