Feed 224 families each week at the Sunday Shelf in Buenos Aires

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 224 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Buenos Aires market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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): $230 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 • Baby formula and diapers: $75 Thank you for reading my story. - Alejandra
