We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $3,550 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Park, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,550. It will serve about 128 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 $3,550 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $175 • Permits and inspections: $155 • Materials: $3,220 If you're reading this, thank you. - James
