A community fridge for Jacaranda Park: help our neighbors in Davao City
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $350 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 378 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $350 goes:
• Materials: $200
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $25
• Tools hire and delivery: $70
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Nenita
Quick update: $207 raised so far (59%). the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 50% funded and I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage.
Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($75). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.

Rooting for you, Nenita. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Montego Bay this morning. Thinking of Davao City
Wishing you the best, Nenita. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Great idea, hope you get there. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Thinking of you, Nenita. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Ogbomosho.

Best of luck, Nenita. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Nenita. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Nenita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
Stay strong, Nenita. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Thanks for sharing this, Nenita. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't give up. Thinking of Davao City.
