Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 235 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the London market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 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 $2,300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $960
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $650
• Baby formula and diapers: $440
• Refrigeration and electricity: $250
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Love from Manchester.
More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from New Delhi
Hang in there, Megan. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
