Let's build a community garden together in Fresno
Volunteers in Fresno are raising $3,450 for a community garden at the Acacia community hall.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,450.
It will serve about 255 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $3,450 goes:
• Materials: $2,700
• Tools hire and delivery: $580
• Permits and inspections: $170
Thanks for being kind about this.

You're not alone, Cecilia. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Thinking of you, Cecilia. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Leipzig
