Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 240 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rennes market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 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:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $590
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $780
• Baby formula and diapers: $170
• Refrigeration and electricity: $310
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you, Amir. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Greetings from 6th of October City.
Stay strong. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Rennes.
any update on how things are going in Rennes?
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings!
hang in there. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Rennes.
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Brittany. I'll ask around and let you know.
Hope you get there. My neighbor in Kampala donated after I showed her your page.
good luck. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Marseille.
thanks for sharing this, Amir. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
