A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Kanpur

Volunteers in Kanpur are raising $450 for a community fridge at Cedar Park.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Park, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 242 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in July 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $450 goes: • Materials: $250 • Permits and inspections: $55 • Safety equipment and signage: $70 • Tools hire and delivery: $75 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Vihaan

      Stay strong. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Leicester.

      • Derya Sibel Kaplan

        Sending love, Vihaan. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Yash Panwar

          praying for you, Vihaan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything

          • Rajesh E. Raman

            So sorry you're going through this, Vihaan. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best.
