Community Fridge
An underprivileged woman, child in town, tentatively approaches a ‘community fridge’ set up off Ammu Arcade, Mahsoba Maidan in Kalyan West on 25th April morning. Locals hand them packets containing freshly made poha. A few minutes later, stomachs full, they’re beaming. It was under Abode Relocation CSR activity, who set up the fridge on 25th April. “The fridge doesn’t only cater to the underprivileged but also provides loaders, autorickshaw drivers and other workers also stop by to grab a bite when they’re hungry”.
