Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 230 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Boulogne-Billancourt market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,850
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $840
• Baby formula and diapers: $370
• Refrigeration and electricity: $240
Thanks for reading all this.

This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Auckland but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Simone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in London this morning. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
So sorry you're going through this, Simone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Lagos.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Simone
Sending strength. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Simone?
Thank you. If you're in Boulogne-Billancourt I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
hope you get there. Greetings from Jakarta.
Best of luck. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Boulogne-Billancourt.
Hope things get better soon, Simone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Pattaya.
Hope it all works out, Simone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
keep going, Simone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Praying for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Love from Sherbrooke.
