Wellington
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,850. It will serve about 519 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $1,850 goes: โ€ข Materials: $1,400 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $210 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $240 I hope life is good to you. - Carter
