A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Aberdeen

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,100. It will serve about 389 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in February and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $3,100 goes: • Materials: $2,350 • Permits and inspections: $170 • Safety equipment and signage: $360 • Tools hire and delivery: $220 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Carol
