Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 186 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Buffalo market and keep every receipt. Each $40 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 $3,250 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $380 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $870 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $2,000 With deep gratitude, Adeline

    Rooting for you, Adeline. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Bangkok donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Bangkok.

    • Kurniawan Bambang Saputra

      So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Awka.
