Sakkakhanu Kosoff picked up some oranges and some chips from the community refrigerator on Northern Boulevard in Jackson Heights.

“Today, I got some oranges and a few chips,” Kosoff said.

She says she makes this trip from her apartment a few blocks away at least three times a week.

“It is very helpful; I don’t have anything in the house.”

Like for so many other New Yorkers, the community fridge has been a lifeline for Kosoff.

Residents can leave or take food with them - no questions asked.

Several have popped up in neighborhoods across the boroughs as many more people struggle with food insecurity because of the pandemic.

Alexandra Nievlo drops off produce and canned goods weekly.

The food store she opened up at the start of the pandemic, just a few blocks from the fridge, did not survive, so her and her husband have been bringing leftover inventory.

“I feel like we are going through a really difficult time. People are out of work and they don’t have money for food. The community fridge has been very helpful for those people,” Nievlo said.

Food pantries have become crucial too.

Over the last year, lines have formed outside of pantries like never before, as millions of Americans who have never had to worry about where their next meal was coming from now rely on these services.

That's why President Biden says he signed executive orders that will help those struggling with food insecurity.

“We cannot, we will not let people go hungry,” said President Biden.

In one order, Biden asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to allow states to increase Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, more commonly known as food stamps by 15%.

As well as a similar boost to the pandemic EBT program to help families with children who qualify for free or reduced lunch at school.

According to the White House, 29 million adults and 8 million children are struggling with food insecurity.
