A free library and reading room for the Harmony vacant lot: help our neighbors in Anaheim
Volunteers in Anaheim are raising $3,500 for a free library and reading room at the Harmony vacant lot.
Anywhere in the world1,883 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,500.
It will serve about 155 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $3,500 goes:
• Materials: $2,600
• Permits and inspections: $220
• Safety equipment and signage: $160
• Tools hire and delivery: $520
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Wishing you peace, Angela. More neighborhoods should do this
Sending strength, Angela. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. God bless
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Angela.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Anaheim.
