Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 330 each week. Donations have dropped by about 49% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Abuja 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 $300 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90 • Refrigeration and electricity: $55 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $155 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
