Mansfield's Harvest International's refrigerator's failing

I havent been able to post some of the photos from the assignments that I shot this week because the stories havent run yet, however, on Wednesday I photographed Harvest International founder Gregory Dewbrew for a story about how the charity's refrigerators started to fail. They had already lost a pallet worth of lettuce, and were moving as much food as possible to a refrigerated trailer.

Dewbrew said that they had managed to install a new compressor and evaporator coils in this unit Tuesday night, but that the three other freezers and refrigerators where unable to stay cold. Dewbrew said that the units were all donated used 15-20 years ago.

They are also using a refrigerated trailer as a temporary measure until a permanent solution can be found.

Thanks for the blog Brandon! And the pictures really make the article hit home. Harvest International in Mansfield is a wonderful charity that works with the community-our community. We need to support these local charities as much as well can. Thanks for spreading the word.
