Not entirely sure who Rev. Larry is (ok, some have a guess) but they dropped off a dozen leg quarters at Katie’s Community Fridge…

Katie’s Fridge once again has a refrigerator AND a better cover with shade cloth for the hot summer afternoons. So if you need some food or you have some you need to share it is ready for you!

Why “Katie’s” Community Fridge?
Katie Luther was known for her open table and boundless hospitality. More than Martin Luther’s spouse, she was his full partner in ministry—managing their home, welcoming students and travelers, caring for the sick, and creating a place where community and conversation could flourish. Her work of feeding, organizing, and tending to others was essential to the Reformation itself.

Martin often said her labor made his work possible. Katie’s kitchen was as vital to ministry as his preaching, offering care, dignity, and nourishment to anyone in need. This fridge continues her legacy: free food for anyone, anytime—no questions, no judgment, just the gift of a shared table.

We have launched a great partnership with Community Centered and Squared and Hays Free Fridges to host Katie's Community Fridge. You can donate most any food other than raw meat, and anyone can take what they need. There is space for dry goods, frozen and refrigerated food.

Thanks to Josh, Amma, and all their team for starting this!
