Let's build a community fridge together in Regensburg
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $1,900 for materials.

For eight 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 the Baobab vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $1,900.
It will serve about 504 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $1,900 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $200
• Materials: $1,500
• Safety equipment and signage: $200
With deep gratitude,
Renate

Praying for you, Renate. Hope you get there. Take care
Sending love, Renate. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
Sending strength, Renate. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together.
Sending good thoughts, Renate. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Warsaw.
Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Regensburg
Sending good thoughts, Renate. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Khulna.
