Feed 255 families each week at Community Pantry in Lagos
The Community Pantry pantry in Lagos is running low just as demand rises; $450 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 255 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 57% this winter, 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 Lagos 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $150
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $180
• Baby formula and diapers: $90
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Sending good thoughts, Victor. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Rio de Janeiro donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Lagos
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
take care, Victor. Your post was clear and honest
Stay strong, Victor. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
