Feed 329 families each week at the Sunday Shelf in Gazipur

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 329 each week. Donations have dropped by about 58% this school holidays, 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 Gazipur 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: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $125 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $65 • Baby formula and diapers: $45 • Refrigeration and electricity: $15 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sharmila
