Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 322 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 52% this school holidays, 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 Taguig market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $95
• Baby formula and diapers: $115
• Refrigeration and electricity: $20
Glad we found this place.

hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 21 people at work. Thinking of Taguig.
hope it all works out, Samuel. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Sapporo donated after I showed her your page
So sorry you're going through this, Samuel. I hope things turn around soon. Take care
sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Montgomery but we're thinking of you. God bless.
