Let's build a community fridge together in Nuremberg
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $1,350 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $710, and the remaining cost is $1,350.
It will serve about 189 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $145
• Materials: $950
• Tools hire and delivery: $255
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Jakarta Selatan.

How is Helene doing now?
so sorry you're going through this. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Helene?
Thank you. If you're in Nuremberg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Best of luck, Helene. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in San Diego but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Nuremberg
Shared this with my family. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Helene.
Permits and inspections is $145 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

thinking of you and your family, Helene. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Warsaw.
