Feed 121 families each week at the Second Helping in Alicante
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Alicante.
🇪🇸 Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain2,351 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 121 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Alicante market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $160
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $910
• Refrigeration and electricity: $130
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Patricia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted
Hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from New Delhi
Rooting for you, Patricia. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer.
Best of luck, Patricia. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Likoni
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Cologne this morning. Love from Cologne.
