Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 101 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 31% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Ciudad de México market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $700 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $270
• Baby formula and diapers: $150
• Refrigeration and electricity: $70
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Raleigh donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Laura. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
Shared this with my family. Love from Corpus Christi.
Hope it all works out, Laura. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Heliopolis.
so sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Makati.
