The Union community hall needs a community garden - Farhana's neighborhood project

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $350 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 243 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in March 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $160 • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $85 • Tools hire and delivery: $60 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 37% now ($129). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 19% funded and I made the first payment toward materials.

  3. Update from New Delhi: I made the first payment toward materials. We're at 13% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
