Feed 324 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Amritsar

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 324 each week. Donations have dropped by about 54% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Amritsar market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $600 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $300 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $220 • Baby formula and diapers: $35 • Refrigeration and electricity: $45 Thank you for reading my story. - Priyanka
