Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 313 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 45% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Lahore 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 $250 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $55
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135
• Baby formula and diapers: $60
Thank you so much.

Hope things get better soon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Syracuse.
