Casey speaks to the camera in her usual spot sitting in a red and orange striped outdoor chair. A clip from an Al Jazeera news video from the previous rain storm appears, showing families in their tents with water flooding in. Another video clip appears of a table full of junk food and candy. Another video appears from inside a makeshift tent as rain pours down.

We did it!!!

We built a new free fridge and community pantry!

It took about a hundred days from deciding to do it, through planning, and finally execution (thread above tracks this). And that is for putting down concrete and electrical. If we did a simple fridge on a pallet, it can be quicker. But even going all out, dang!

So we held the ribbon cutting ceremony. A lot of folks showed up to do the initial stock. Now we'll maintain it and spread the word out to the community. The town has a food resource app. The library maintains a list. I'll add it to our site. The local paper is writing an article.

This is also just the first part of this fridge. They're adding another pantry and an awning to cover it all.

Alright. This one is done. On to the next one!
