She said they香蕉视频直播檙e now putting together drafts of what the shed could look like.

香蕉视频直播淭here are still details we have to talk about, but the Unitarians said they香蕉视频直播檙e thinking of building the shed the weekend after next, so we can probably get the fridge in there in the next week and a half or so,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淚t all depends on when the shed is built because we香蕉视频直播檒l still have to go in and paint it and finish it before we install the fridge, but it will all happen within this month.香蕉视频直播�

The Kelowna Community Fridge was started by residents Lauren St. Clair and Amie Rand to have a publicly accessible fridge and pantry stocked with essentials so residents who need a hand can get it easily.

Rand previously said the community fridge comes when so many people have been pushed towards precarious financial situations due to job losses.

Both St. Clair and Rand said the community fridge will provide a low barrier for struggling residents who may not get the help they need at a local food bank.
