A community garden for the Cedar health centre yard: help our neighbors in San Jose
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $3,550 for materials.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States2,762 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,550.
It will serve about 435 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $3,550 goes:
• Materials: $2,950
• Permits and inspections: $360
• Tools hire and delivery: $240
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of San Jose.
Sending strength, Peyton. I hope things turn around soon
So sorry you're going through this, Peyton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Rawalpindi.
Hope it all works out, Peyton. Shared this with my family.
Wishing you the best. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
