Black Mothers in Power launches community fridge to tackle Wilmington food insecurity

The fridge aims to help residents facing food insecurity, an urgent need in some spots in Wilmington.

Since 2019, the group Black Mothers in Power has been working to uplift Black women in Wilmington, offering services that range from maternal health support to advocacy and education.

Over time, the organization expanded to offer services like a computer lab, postpartum support groups, housing and transportation. As it continued to support families, the group identified another pressing issue: food insecurity. Its latest effort is a community fridge, a place where residents facing food insecurity can access free, fresh food.
