It's National Clean Out Your Fridge day, which means today’s the day to embark on The Great Fridge Expedition! Dig deep, uncover forgotten leftovers and bravely confront anything that’s begun evolving into a new species. A quick clean now means more room for fresh, tasty things later.

Hard times don’t last, but the power of community does. If you’re feeling the effects of the shutdown, you’re not alone.

For extra help, local food organizations like the Interfaith Food Ministry are here, and if you can, support for them helps feed neighbors in need. We are stronger together. πŸ’šπŸŒ±
