Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 159 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 42% this rainy season, 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 Hồ Chí Minh City market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $550 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $165
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $340
Thank you so much.

Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from San Diego
wishing you peace, Hằng. Great idea, hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours
So sorry you're going through this, Hằng. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Málaga this morning. All the best.
Hang in there, Hằng. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope it all works out. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Take care
Best of luck, Hằng. Shared this with my family. All the best
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Hằng. Hope you get there. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
You're not alone, Hằng. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Greensboro
