Wudil
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 220 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in November 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: • Safety equipment and signage: $35 • Materials: $270 • Permits and inspections: $45 Thank you so much.

Updates from Paul

  1. Quick update: $329 raised so far (94%). I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Wudil: I made the first payment toward materials. We're at 63% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 53% funded and I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. - Paul
