UTRGV First Community Fridge!

In partnership with EAC, UTRGV MANRRS, and the Hub of Prosperity, we extend our gratitude to the Agroecology Program for their invaluable assistance in launching a community fridge accessible to students, staff, and members of the community.

You can now directly access produce harvested from our Agroecology Garden on campus and from the Hub of Prosperity.🥕🍅

Stay tuned for future guidelines on acceptable donations. Remember, anyone can contribute food items to our community fridge.

Special thanks to Sofia Martinez, Apolonio Flores, Olivia Starkweather, and Stephanie Kasper for initiating this project.
