Feed 197 families each week at Open Hands Pantry in Sylhet

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 197 each week. Donations have dropped by about 56% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Sylhet 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $180 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $85 • Baby formula and diapers: $40 • Refrigeration and electricity: $45 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
