The the Second Helping pantry in Frankfurt is running low just as demand rises; $2,550 will stock it for 7 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 100 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Frankfurt market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,550
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $350
• Baby formula and diapers: $510
• Refrigeration and electricity: $140

how is Lukas doing now?
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Greensboro this morning. Blessings.
Sending love, Lukas. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Lukas. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Lukas. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
You're not alone, Lukas. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
