Taguig
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 132 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Taguig market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $400 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $90 • Refrigeration and electricity: $30 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $280 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Angel

  • I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Brooklyn donated after I showed her your page

    • hope it all works out, Angel. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Taguig
