Let's build a community fridge together in Austin

Volunteers in Austin are raising $4,900 for a community fridge at Liberty Primary School.

Austin
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $4,900. It will serve about 293 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $4,900 goes: • Materials: $3,800 • Permits and inspections: $150 • Safety equipment and signage: $450 • Tools hire and delivery: $500 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
