Every week health care providers and community partners worked together to deliver culturally appropriate food boxes for Haitian residents of Dorchester. Clinical Scholars Samara Grossman, MSW, LICSW; Annie Lewis O’Connor, PhD, NP-BC, MPH, FAAN; and Hanni Stoklosa, MD, MPH partnered with: Andrew Crispin, MS, Off Their Plate Community Feeding Lead; Tracy Sylven, CHHC, MCHES, Director of Community Health and Wellness, Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital; Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Laura Cowie-Haskell, lead volunteer of Roslindale Community Fridge, and Las Palmas Restaurant, a Dominican restaurant in Roslindale, MA, who was paid by Off Their Plate to create the culturally relevant heat and eat meals for those using the Roslindale Community Fridge. Through the generous grant of $15,000 from Clinical Scholars, this team was able to provide 1500 families with fresh, culturally appropriate Dominican heat and eat meals over the course of the grant. Due to the nature of the mutual aid tenets, on which the Roslindale Community Fridge is based, there is no accounting of use by participants. Instead the model is based on the concept of mutuality- ““give what you can, take what you need”. The Roslindale Free Fridge defines itself as a “mutual aid collective that works to provide healthy food access and COVID-19 resources to our neighbors through community programming and installing community fridges in our neighborhood.” https://opencollective.com/roslindale-community-fridge#category-ABOUT Building on the success of the Dorchester food box program and addressing its challenges, we realized that people who are stretched thin by finances, transportation issues, parenting duties and work schedules need to be able to access free, ready to eat (as opposed to groceries that need preparation), culturally appropriate food at their convenience, at a location in their community that is easy to get to and near public transportation. The Roslindale Free Fridge met this criterion, being local, in an easy, accessible, location and near public transport. Free Fridges are always open and are unmonitored, this allowed participants to access food on their schedule, as needed, as often as is needed. This was a crucial expansion from what we learned from the Dorchester COVID Response Project, where participation was limited by location and weather and transportation options. Additional learning points related to Off Their Plate realizing that addressing food scarcity can be done ‘outside the box’- moving beyond grocery/pantry model and food boxes to learning about the power of the mutual aid movement across the US as a method to address food insecurity. As he stated “we are now finding different tools to fight food insecurity- we may work with community fridges even beyond Boston – this opened up a new avenue for us.” Tracy Sylven also gained from this project, stating the involvement in this project was a pilot experience for her, and that she is now able to promote its sustainability by gaining a $150,000 grant for supporting free fridges in Boston area neighborhoods. As this was a new grant, she stated she was currently soliciting feedback from the newly identified free fridge partners (including Roslindale Free Fridge), on what worked and what didn’t, so she can shape next steps in providing funding in a way that is not burdensome and helpful. We are grateful for the opportunity Clinical Scholars provided, and satisfied that we were able to directly address food insecurity in Roslindale and Dorchester during the duration of the grants provided.
