Volunteers in Chattanooga are raising $3,150 for a free library and reading room at the Cedar health centre yard.

Chattanooga
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,150. It will serve about 455 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $3,150 goes: • Materials: $2,350 • Tools hire and delivery: $560 • Safety equipment and signage: $240 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Taylor
