The Maple vacant lot needs a community fridge - Madhu's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $600 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 507 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $600 goes:
• Materials: $420
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Safety equipment and signage: $80
• Tools hire and delivery: $75
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Savannah
Sending love, Madhu. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Madurai!
