Let's build a community fridge together in Quezon City
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $500 for materials.
🇵🇭 Philippines612 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $155, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 302 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $500 goes:
• Materials: $340
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $80
• Tools hire and delivery: $25
With deep gratitude,
Noel

I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Angeles.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 32 people at work. Thinking of Quezon City!
rooting for you, Noel. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon. More neighborhoods should do this. Blessings.
this could happen to any of us. Sent it to 10 people at work.
wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Noel. Looking forward to the next update. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Noel. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
So sorry you're going through this, Noel. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Quezon City!
Best of luck, Noel. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Yekaterinburg.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli.
you're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you peace, Noel. Great idea, hope you get there. After 17 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
