Let's build a community fridge together in Memphis
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $3,650 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $550, and the remaining cost is $3,650.
It will serve about 595 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $3,650 goes:
• Materials: $2,900
• Permits and inspections: $370
• Tools hire and delivery: $380
I hope life is good to you.

Sending good thoughts, Jun. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 15 people at work. Thinking of Memphis
hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Please keep us posted. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Bhaktapur.
Keep going, Jun. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Naivasha.
