Open Your Heart has provided ICA Food Shelf funding to purchase a commercial refrigerator and freezer for the newly opened ICA Market & Resource Center (MRC) within the Ridgedale YMCA. Commercial refrigeration and freezing units will allow ICA Food Shelf to store perishable items at the YMCA, offering a greater choice of healthy foods including protein, dairy, and fresh fruits and vegetables. The MRC will reduce food insecurity while connecting community members to additional support that builds long-term economic stability.
