Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 220 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the London market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,450
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $730
• Baby formula and diapers: $330
• Refrigeration and electricity: $240

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of London.
