For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 20 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 $450. It will serve about 516 people, including school children and their families. 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: $290 • Permits and inspections: $25 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $80 I hope life is good to you. - Bhavani

    Sending strength, Bhavani. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Pune.

        rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
