Feed 290 families each week at the Sunday Shelf in Naples
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Naples is running low just as demand rises; $1,050 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 290 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 54% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Naples market and keep every receipt.
Each $35 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 $1,050 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $590
• Refrigeration and electricity: $270
• Baby formula and diapers: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

Keep going, Sergio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
Praying for you, Sergio. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Love from Comilla.
Hope things get better soon, Sergio. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
