We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $3,200 for materials.

St. Petersburg
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,300, and the remaining cost is $3,200. It will serve about 404 people, including school children and their families. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $3,200 goes: • Materials: $2,300 • Permits and inspections: $230 • Safety equipment and signage: $170 • Tools hire and delivery: $500 Thanks for reading all this. - Everly

        Keep going. Hope you get there. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
