The old Freedom bus depot needs a covered market stall space - Junko's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $2,300 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,300.
It will serve about 85 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $2,300 goes:
• Materials: $2,050
• Tools hire and delivery: $145
• Permits and inspections: $105
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. materials is the biggest at $2,050. Good question.
