The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Hanoi is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 191 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this school holidays, 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 Hanoi 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 $300 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Baby formula and diapers: $40
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $215
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

You're not alone, Lâm. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Santos.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Hanoi.
