Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 305 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 51% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Aurangabad market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $250 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $90
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Tharun. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
