Check out this article written by @josemartineznews about a MA alumni. “La Bodega gratis de Eileen” opens its doors every Saturday at the Consulate of El Salvador in Brentwood. Sitting in a modest corner of the offices of the Consulate of El Salvador in, Long Island, 40 minutes from some of the most luxurious restaurants in the world, stands a life-saving refrigerator. A dream that fueled the pandemic through an old refrigerator that today serves as a community grocery store for hundreds of people suffering from the ravages of food insecurity. “La Bodega Gratuita de Eileen”, as she named this project, in honor of her late grandmother, was born as a result of her volunteer work at various pantries in the Bronx in December 2020. Her mission took a course outside of New York City when someone close to her urged her to set her sights on her own community in Brentwood. "I began knocking on doors from February to May and finally the Consulate of El Salvador suggested that we set a table with free food and we did that," says the young woman, who assures that the experience has been "like a roller coaster because food insecurity has always been there but the pandemic made the problem worse." According to figures from the Feeding America organization, in 2019, before the start of the pandemic, more than 35 million people, including 11 million children, were experiencing food insecurity. In 2020, the outlook worsened with 45 million, "The fridge" In order to be able to offer fresh food, Once a spot was secured at the consulate, the next step put her on Facebook Marketplace. There a person fell in love with the project and donated what has become a main character in this community love story. "Now I am always super excited that Saturday will arrive to open the refrigerator and spend time with the community," says the young woman. "I want to live in a society where more people do things like this." Her love and dedication for the community comes from a special place. Sweeney is now on the other side of the pantry. She remembers that when she was little, with her mother, they visited places like the one she now coordinates. If you want to donate find us @eileensfreebodega_
