Quetta
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 244 each week. Donations have dropped by about 41% this school holidays, 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 Quetta market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $200 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $45 • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $115 With deep gratitude, Zain
