The Pioneer community hall needs a community fridge - Gabriel's neighborhood project
A community-led a community fridge at the Pioneer community hall that will serve 493 neighbors.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,900.
It will serve about 493 people, including school children and their families. 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 $2,900 goes:
• Materials: $2,200
• Tools hire and delivery: $430
• Permits and inspections: $270
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
