The models applied this advice on Saturday morning. “Our food shopping was centered around fresh produce and healthy alternatives to everyday pantry items ,” says Hammam. “We were also fortunate to receive generous donations from friends and family.” They met at the fridge locations in Fort Greene, where more friends joined them to drop off additional food and clean the fridges. “We were able to restock each fridge more than once,” says Hammam.
Monrose and Hammam agree anyone and everyone should volunteer their time and resources this holiday season if they can, but with large platforms in fashion, they felt a duty to do so. “We both have been in the fashion industry for more than 10 years, and it has sometimes been difficult for us to figure out the industry’s meaning or purpose,” says Hammam.
