Award-Winning Chef Carla Perez-Gallardo ’10 Opens Community Refrigerator at Her Hudson, N.Y., Restaurant Lil Deb’s Oasis
Staffs at Lil Deb’s Oasis and Kitty’s Market have joined forces to establish two community refrigerators that will be co-managed by a group of local activist volunteers. The fridges are meant to be self-sustaining, with produce and other goods provided by local donors. Lil Deb’s Perez-Gallardo is committed to making up any shortfall in donations. “I feel it’s especially important right now, when so much is up in the air and so many people have lost their jobs, to keep food accessible,” she says. “Community fridges are a really beautiful and simple way to address food access in communities that don’t have direct access to fresh produce all the time.”
