Community Fridge
The 70807 zip code is classified as a food desert, with limited access to supermarkets and grocery stores. Residents often rely on convenience stores that lack fresh produce, contributing to poor nutrition and health outcomes.
The poverty rate in 70807 is approximately 41%, with a median household income of $27,500, well below the national median of $68,700. High poverty levels exacerbate food insecurity, as many families cannot afford sufficient, healthy food.
The Delta Smart Community Fridge seeks to assist residents by providing access to free food and household items. The Delta Smart Community Fridge is located at 1955 74th Ave., Baton Rouge, LA 70807. It provides free perishable and non-perishable food to the food insecure or unhoused in the 70807 zip code.
BRSAC partners with the Southern University Ag Center and My Kid Plate Foundation on two additional community fridges on the campus of Southern University to address student food insecurity. Nearly 1 in 3 college students face food insecurity affecting their academics and well being.
