Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 220 each week. Donations have dropped by about 47% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Warsaw market and keep every receipt. Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $640 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $350 • Baby formula and diapers: $290 • Refrigeration and electricity: $70 Thanks for being kind about this. - Stanisław
