The Acacia community hall needs a community fridge - Maximilian's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Dortmund are raising $2,100 for a community fridge at the Acacia community hall.
🇩🇪 Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany2,738 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,100.
It will serve about 542 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $2,100 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $430
• Permits and inspections: $165
• Materials: $1,505
Every share and every dollar helps.

sending love, Maximilian. Shared this with my family
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. After 21 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Cali so I could bring a meal
is there anything that isn't money that would help Maximilian?
Thank you. If you're in Dortmund I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
Hope it all works out, Maximilian. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Leicester so I could bring a meal
Best of luck, Maximilian. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Boulogne-Billancourt.
wishing you peace. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Wishing you the best, Maximilian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Lviv.
Hope things get better soon, Maximilian. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 6 people at work. Greetings from Glendale.
