Feed 158 families each week at the Sunday Shelf in Chattogram

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 158 each week. Donations have dropped by about 31% 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 Chattogram market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $120 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 Thanks for reading all this. - Moumita
