Feed 218 families each week at the Second Helping in Quezon City

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 218 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% 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 Quezon City 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 $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $165 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210 • Baby formula and diapers: $55 • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 Thanks for reading all this.
