Feed 309 families each week at Community Pantry in Medellín

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 309 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Medellín 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 $900 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $500 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $175 • Baby formula and diapers: $115 • Refrigeration and electricity: $110 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
