PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A Philadelphia community will get some help putting food on the table again.

A community refrigerator is re-opening in the city's Hunting Park section.

Officials with the "As I Plant This Seed" nonprofit say someone stole the original fridge from the neighborhood back in February.

The Home Depot donated a new appliance to the organization.

It will be in the same location: on the 3500 block of North 9th Street.

This time, it will be bolted to the ground.

The fridge has a "take what you need" policy to help feed families in the community.
