Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 328 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Envigado market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 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 $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $200
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $185
• Baby formula and diapers: $145
• Refrigeration and electricity: $20
I hope life is good to you.
