Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 198 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% this harvest gap, 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 Ciudad de México market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $750 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $410 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $125 • Baby formula and diapers: $190 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 Thanks for being kind about this. - Ramón

  • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Colombo donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
