Freedom Primary School needs a community fridge - Brooks's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $2,700 for materials.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,002 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,700.
It will serve about 81 people, including school children and their families. 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 $2,700 goes:
• Materials: $1,750
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $320
• Tools hire and delivery: $340
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rooting for you, Brooks. Your post was clear and honest.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
praying for you. Great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Raleigh but we're thinking of you. All the best
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brooks
Materials is $1,750 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Thanks for sharing this, Brooks. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Pasig.
Wishing you the best, Brooks. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
wishing you peace, Brooks. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Please keep us posted. All the best
