Grace and Dave, two residents of Boston's Allston-Brighton neighborhood, join Nichole to talk about community efforts to help those in need through special refrigerators set up around the city. The two talk about the process of teaming up with local businesses, sourcing the fridges, and how you can get one going in your neighborhood. After that, we hear from Allan Fitzmaurice, the Director of Consumer Affairs in Revere, and Bill O'Hearn, Chief of the Consumer Advocacy & Response Division at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office. They have details on how the Commonwealth is marking National Consumer Protection Week, and resources available to help consumers who are struggling with scams or a difficult transaction.
