The community refrigerator project was planned and executed by medical students at the University of Texas Medical Branch, who approached the church with the idea that was part of a project to battle food insecurity. “What better way is there to address food insecurity and prevent food waste,” said Nicole Michael, a fourth-year medical student at the medical branch. “There are a lot of resources to get people food, like the food bank and churches. The thing that’s different about this is the community sustainability piece of it.”
