Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 127 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 55% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Palermo market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,100
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $910
• Baby formula and diapers: $430
• Refrigeration and electricity: $160
Thanks for reading all this.
