For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,250.
It will serve about 248 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 $2,250 goes:
• Materials: $1,450
• Permits and inspections: $280
• Safety equipment and signage: $250
• Tools hire and delivery: $270
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Isaiah. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
