A food desert is described as an area that has limited access to affordable and nutritious food. Food deserts tend to be inhabited by low-income residents with reduced mobility. Food deserts lack suppliers of fresh foods, such as meats, fruits, and vegetables.

This year, BLS B.L.A.C.K, wanted to do something to combat this. However, we did not want to just make another slide presentation. We wanted to take action. And that’s what we are doing this Wednesday, April 14th, for the BLS day of service.

For the day of service, we plan to host a virtual walk where members of our BLS community could donate $5, $10, $15, or more. We plan to use these contributions to buy fresh produce for 5 Boston Community Food Fridges.

Our goal is $250, or $50 per fridge.

Here is the list of the 5 community fridges we plan to donate to: – Dorchester Community Fridge at 1471 Dorchester Ave, Dorchester – Roslindale Community Fridge at 4140 Washington St, Roslindale – Jamaica Plain Community Fridge at 366 Centre St, Jamaica Plain – Mattapan Community Fridge at 1290 Blue Hill Ave, Mattapan —South End Community Fridge at 549 Columbus Ave Your email address will be recorded when you submit this form.
