• 'Community fridge' idea being used in other Wisconsin cities is proposed for La Crosse (wizmnews.com) — Green Bay is highlighted as one of the Wisconsin cities already using community fridges, a model now being proposed for La Crosse. La Crosse’s city judiciary committee will review an ordinance Jan. 6 to allow public-access refrigerators on private property, exempt from typical food-business rules. The idea mirrors “little free pantries,” but with larger, refrigerated food options.
