The old Pioneer bus depot needs a community fridge - David's neighborhood project
A community-led a community fridge at the old Pioneer bus depot that will serve 497 neighbors.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom2,002 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Pioneer bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,800.
It will serve about 497 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $1,800 goes:
• Materials: $850
• Permits and inspections: $110
• Safety equipment and signage: $400
• Tools hire and delivery: $440
With deep gratitude,
David

hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Rooting for you, David. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Good luck, David. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
Hang in there, David. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
