A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Khon Kaen
Volunteers in Khon Kaen are raising $750 for a community fridge at the old Acacia bus depot.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $320, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 567 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $540
• Tools hire and delivery: $125
• Safety equipment and signage: $85
With deep gratitude,
Chai

Sending strength, Chai. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you. Blessings.
Sending love, Chai. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Take care, Chai. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mandeville
Keep going, Chai. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
