The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Faisalabad is running low just as demand rises; $350 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 211 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 57% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Faisalabad market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $350 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $170
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $85
• Baby formula and diapers: $35
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Bristol.
good luck. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Lapu-Lapu!
Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Istanbul
Take care, Haider. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Salem.
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
you're not alone, Haider. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal. Take care
Rooting for you, Haider. More neighborhoods should do this. My husband and I read this together.

Thinking of you. Hope you get there. Sent it to 10 people at work. All the best.

Sending love, Haider. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
