The Pioneer community hall needs a repair café workshop - Delphine's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $2,400 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,400.
It will serve about 367 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $2,400 goes:
• Materials: $1,450
• Permits and inspections: $250
• Safety equipment and signage: $350
• Tools hire and delivery: $350
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
