For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 14 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 483 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 $650 goes: โ€ข Materials: $470 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $50 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $45 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $85 Thank you so much.

  • Sending strength, Yuni. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

    • Keep going. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 29 people at work

      • Keep going, Yuni. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Jakarta
