A community garden for Union Park: help our neighbors in Anaheim
A community-led a community garden at Union Park that will serve 584 neighbors.
🇺🇸 United States2,808 views
For eight 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 Union Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $4,250.
It will serve about 584 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $4,250 goes:
• Materials: $3,200
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $480
• Tools hire and delivery: $280
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Héctor. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Best of luck, Héctor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope it all works out, Héctor. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Kadıköy donated after I showed her your page.
How is Héctor doing now?
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Héctor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Bogotá.
Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
