Nuremberg
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 308 each week. Donations have dropped by about 40% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nuremberg market and keep every receipt. Each $40 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 $2,850 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,800 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $420 • Baby formula and diapers: $490 • Refrigeration and electricity: $140 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Petra

      Praying for you, Petra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
