For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom community hall, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $1,050, and the remaining cost is $3,850. It will serve about 536 people, including school children and their families. 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 $3,850 goes: • Permits and inspections: $350 • Tools hire and delivery: $410 • Materials: $3,090 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
