Feed 267 families each week at Community Pantry in Uberlândia

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 267 each week. Donations have dropped by about 55% this harvest gap, 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 Uberlândia 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 $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $320 • Baby formula and diapers: $115 • Refrigeration and electricity: $65 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Manuela
