Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 243 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this school holidays, 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 Karlsruhe market and keep every receipt. Each $40 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 $2,650 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,100 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100 • Baby formula and diapers: $190 • Refrigeration and electricity: $260 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Patrick
