For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Park, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $3,500. It will serve about 378 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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: • Safety equipment and signage: $220 • Tools hire and delivery: $580 • Materials: $2,700 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sebastian
