For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 16 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 volunteer hours worth about $220, and the remaining cost is $900. It will serve about 404 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $900 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $125 • Tools hire and delivery: $80 • Materials: $695 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kirill!

    • Safety equipment and signage is $125 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 18 people at work. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.

    • You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.

      • Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Saint Petersburg.

        • Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.

          • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
