Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 144 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 54% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Brasília market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 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 $650 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $260
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230
• Baby formula and diapers: $160
I hope life is good to you.

thanks for sharing this, Gabriel. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Wishing you peace. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
Take care. Great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Lahore
you're not alone. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
