Shelving Unit - Fiesta Gardens
Project Status: Available
Project Overview
The community center currently has a shelving unit that was generously donated by a local family. However, as shown in the attached photos, the existing shelving is buckling under the weight of its contents and has lost some of its shelving pegs. The community center relies on this shelving unit to store and distribute items to students in need, such as backpacks, shoes, jackets, and school uniforms. To better serve the community, the center requests a new, stronger shelving unit with the following specifications:
Compartmentalization: Broken into pods for simpler storage and organization.
Size: Large enough to accommodate kid-sized backpacks on its shelves.
Depth: Deep enough to fit clothes on hangers, as shown in the photos.
Clothing Rack: A dedicated section for hanging clothes on hangers.
This new shelving unit will ensure that the community center can efficiently organize and distribute essential items to students in need.
