Feed 256 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Dasmariñas

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 256 each week. Donations have dropped by about 43% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dasmariñas market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $250 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $80 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 Thank you for reading my story.
