For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $130, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 283 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $400 goes: • Materials: $260 • Permits and inspections: $40 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $75 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
