Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 336 each week. Donations have dropped by about 52% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Lahore 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 $250 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $130 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $110 • Refrigeration and electricity: $10 Thank you for reading my story.
