Restore the 17th Ave E Bench

Hello Neighbors! We are raising money to restore our park bench! The bench is at 17th Ave E, and Mercer, in a small pocket park. We will replace the wood slats, dowels and metal bolts with the help of a contractor, and place a permanent receptacle for trash on it as well. We have the city permit, and a contractor lined up ready to help us next month. The money we are hoping to raise will go towards the cost of the supplies and labor, the permit/issuance fee, and a permanent trash receptacle. This bench is used and beloved by many in our small neighborhood of Capitol Hill, and if we don't restore it the city will take steps to get rid of it. Thank you in advance for any support you can give to help us keep the bench for all to use in the neighborhood!
