Celebrating Clayton Parks Day February 26, his widow, Abby, mobilized family members to stock two Aurora community fridges with food.
Clayton was among five victims of a 2019 shooting at Henry Pratt Co. in Aurora.
Fridge project spokesman David Cannon said Abby and other volunteers filled fridges located outside at Fresh Start City Church, 10 S. Lancaster Ave. and at Jo-Ana’s Salon, 374 High St..
Cannon explained, “The community fridges are outdoor refrigerators and pantries, accessible 24/7, 365 days a year, offering free food to anyone who needs it — no questions asked. Give what you can, take what you need is how the fridges operate.
“We are deeply grateful for this beautiful act of remembrance and generosity,” Cannon added. “We invite everyone to be part of this ongoing effort, either with food or funds or labor.”
