A community fridge: a volunteer-led effort in Luxor

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 148 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $500 goes: • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $60 • Materials: $395 With deep gratitude, Fadi
