The old Unity bus depot needs a community fridge - Tanvi's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $300 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Unity bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 234 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $300 goes:
• Materials: $165
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

hope it all works out, Tanvi. Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tanvi.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($165) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Atlanta
Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. Sent it to 39 people at work. Love from Nashik.
Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Pittsburgh this morning. All the best
Wishing you peace, Tanvi. Great idea, hope you get there. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Praying for you, Tanvi. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
this could happen to any of us. Greetings from San Francisco.
