This Community Fridge Provides More Than Produce
It’s a Friday, and I’m getting a tour of a building at the corner of Broadway and Hart, right at that sweet spot in Brooklyn where Bushwick and Bed-Stuy overlap. A man walks in to drop off a ladder, which I soon discover he’s donating to the space. He’s never been here before, and the team doesn’t know him, but everyone is all smiles, thrilled they have a new, sturdy piece of equipment for their work.
On a corner between Bushwick and Bed-Stuy, Collective Focus is offering joyful mutual aid in the form of food, clothing, and skill sharing.
