Liberty Park needs a community fridge - James's neighborhood project
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.

shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Tema so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Hialeah

Hope things get better soon, James. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Red Deer so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Istanbul
