A community fridge for the Cedar community hall: help our neighbors in Nagpur
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $500 for materials.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India967 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $210, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 559 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $500 goes:
• Materials: $430
• Safety equipment and signage: $20
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sowmya!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. materials is the biggest at $430. Thanks for looking so closely.
Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
How is Sowmya doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Sowmya. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Brisbane
Thinking of you, Sowmya. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
shared this with my family. God bless!
Rooting for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope things get better soon, Sowmya. Shared this with my family.
More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Saint-Étienne
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Radom donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Nagpur.
Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Yonkers.
