Let's build a covered market stall space together in Fort Worth

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $4,600 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $4,600. It will serve about 557 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $4,600 goes: โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $360 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $350 โ€ข Materials: $3,890 Every share and every dollar helps. - Rodrigo

Updates from Rodrigo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($2,014 in total) I made the first payment toward permits and inspections. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
