After nearly a year of homelessness, Adeline has moved into stable housing. She’s grateful for a safe place to call home, but she’s still working to get the basic necessities she needs to feel secure and comfortable. Right now, the shared refrigerator in her living space is full, leaving her little room to store milk, produce, leftovers, and other perishable food.
