Laughter Feeds the Soul: Benefit for a Community Fridge
Join us for a night of comedy, belly dancing, and art for an amazing cause!

The fridge is a radical act of love and mutual aid, and the CUNY Law Community Fridge aims to raise enough funds to provide substantial grocery gift cards amongst their community for the summer. “To feed someone is to love them!”
