Nashik
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 434 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $500 goes: • Materials: $360 • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 • Tools hire and delivery: $75 Glad we found this place. - Vasanthi

  1. Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($125). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward materials.
