  The upgraded public refrigerator in Changzheng Charity Supermarket in Qingyu Road 127, Shanghai, brings people warmth in this winter.

  The upgraded refrigerator looks like a vending machine filled with instant noodles, instant fans, biscuits, mineral water and other food. You can get the food you want after pressing the number button and swiping your ID card or scanning the QR code with WeChat, which only takes several seconds.

  This new shared refrigerator has been equipped with a visualization carrier and becomes more intelligent. Zhang Qiuxia, director general of Green Food Bank said the refrigerator is a product of organic integration of charity and the Internet and guaranteed all the details of this project are transparent. It works as a loving bond between the business, residents, government and the beneficiaries, she added.

  There have been ten shared public refrigerators in Shanghai since October last year and people obtain about 300 packets of food every day on these machines. The refrigerator only accepts the donations of the companies and collectives, which are dominated by pre-packaged food.
