Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 143 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 48% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Onitsha market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $250 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $165
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
• Baby formula and diapers: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Queen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Valencia.
Sending strength, Queen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Los Angeles.
You're not alone, Queen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Casablanca
Thinking of you, Queen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Asaba
