Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Brandon.
🇨🇦 Brandon, Manitoba, Canada2,758 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Sunday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 221 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% 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 Brandon 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 $1,850 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,200
• Baby formula and diapers: $350
Glad we found this place.
