Feed 277 families each week at the Second Helping in Rawalpindi

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 277 each week. Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rawalpindi 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 $400 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $75 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $115 Thanks for reading all this. - Hussain
