Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 202 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% 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 Accra 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 $150 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $75 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 Every share and every dollar helps. - Kofi
