Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 245 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 49% 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 Ikeja market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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 $200 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $95
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Glad we found this place.
