The Wellness Fridge
The Wellness Fridge is a project founded by Hayley Blacker and Katelyn Lester, Nutrition Club co-presidents at Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School and Mayor Colleen Mahr. It is community friendly and stocked with fresh, nutritious food that is available for anyone in need to take and enjoy.
It was donated by Fanwood Library trustee Jane Frost-Guzzo in memory of her father, former peace activist and U.S. Senate candidate Dr. David Frost. It stands on the front porch of Fanwood Borough Hall.
The main objective of the Wellness Fridge is to promote healthy eating habits and to provide people with easy access to healthy food options. People are encouraged to take food out and put food in as they please, promoting a sense of community and shared responsibility for healthy eating. With the Wellness Fridge, healthy eating has never been easier or more accessible. Examples of health food donations include vegetables, fruits, dairy products, or fresh meats.
Residents are welcome to put food in or take food out, 24/7. Questions may be addressed to fanwoodwellnessfridge@gmail.com
