Feed 247 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Santos
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Santos is running low just as demand rises; $750 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 247 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 49% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Santos market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $750 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $280
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $190
• Baby formula and diapers: $170
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
