A youth football pitch: a volunteer-led effort in Glendale

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $3,350 for materials.

Glendale
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,350. It will serve about 245 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $3,350 goes: • Materials: $2,450 • Permits and inspections: $340 • Safety equipment and signage: $145 • Tools hire and delivery: $415 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Josefa

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Glendale!

      Thank you. If you're in Glendale I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

          Wishing you peace. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
