MONTAGUE, P.E.I. — A community fridge has been added to the Montague Rotary Library providing a variety of food free for the taking.

Items such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt cups, bagels and cream cheese are being stocked.

“It’s not a huge fridge, but whatever we can stock it with (we will),’’ says library technician Erin Lundrigan.

Food can be taken from the fridge on Wednesdays and Thursdays between 3 and 5 p.m.

A community cupboard has been operating at the library, which is located in the Cavendish Wellness Centre, for more than two months. Items including toothpaste, toothbrushes, sanitary products and non-perishable food can be taken at no cost from the cupboard seven days a week.

Lundrigan says the cupboard is restocked every two or three days.

Donated items are accepted for both the community fridge and the community cupboard.
