Let's build a rainwater harvesting system together in Los Angeles

Volunteers in Los Angeles are raising $2,900 for a rainwater harvesting system at the Maple community hall.

Los Angeles
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,900. It will serve about 113 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $2,900 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $540 • Tools hire and delivery: $540 • Materials: $1,820 Thanks for reading all this.
