The public restroom, located at the Garberville Town Square, has been serving the public needs since August 2018. Garberville Redway Public Restroom Working Group (GRPRWG / email:[email protected]) now needs your help to build a sustainable maintenance fund to keep it open, clean and safe for the next generation.

Donate now to our fund at the Vocality Credit Union in Garberville:
Account # 12773-51 (Public Restroom Fund).

We are umbrelled under the Woman's Crisis Shelter in Southern Humboldt (W.I.S.H.), and donations are tax deductible.

After our Community Public Restroom on the Garberville Town Square went through the winter with the stucco prep work completed but no stucco, we found "Master Plasterer", Gregorio, who using the traditional three-coat application (scratch coat, brown coat and finish coat), beautifully finished the building. The scratch coat is grooved to help secure the second (called the brown coat) which gives the final texture, and the third coat (finish coat) adds the color.

Thank you Gregorio and all of the other construction workers, donors, organizations, business owners and supporters for helping to bring this wonderful addition to our beautiful community.

We are working on the plan for our sustainable maintenance endowment fund....more news to come.

The last stages of construction of the Restroom at the Garberville Town Square are now taking place as the storage shed portion of the restroom is being prepped for the application of its stucco finish -- thanks to great volunteer work from Isaac Fleming and his crew. Isaac (shown in the photo below) is the owner of Fleming Plastering Co. out of Eureka, Calif.

-To meet your commercial or residential stucco and plastering needs, you can contact Isaac at: (707) 599-6261: https://www.flemingplastering.com/

Soon we will be launching our Sustainable Maintenance Fund-raising Campaign to secure long-term funding ("The Poop-petuity Fund") for maintenance of the Garberville Public Restroom.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped and supported us in getting to this point! And thanks to Suzelle for the great photo of Isaac.
