Now open outside of “holistic health and wellness studio” HeyyHealer at 324 East Belt Line Road, Suite 500, this fridge follows the organization’s first fridge, which was set up outside of the Pan-African Connection bookstore in Oak Cliff back in September. As organizer Jasmine Coleman told Eater then, the People’s Fridge is still looking to partner with local restaurants and other businesses who may have surplus food to donate to the effort. Some spots, like Sylvan Thirty eatery Shayna’s Cafe, have already made donations.
