For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 151 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 $350 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Materials: $310 • Safety equipment and signage: $10 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Payal
