A community fridge for Cedar Park: help our neighbors in Bristol
A community-led a community fridge at Cedar Park that will serve 227 neighbors.
🇬🇧 Bristol, England, United Kingdom1,836 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,550.
It will serve about 227 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Materials: $1,450
• Permits and inspections: $250
• Safety equipment and signage: $330
• Tools hire and delivery: $520
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Tokyo.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Montréal
Wishing you the best, Savannah. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
