Feed 344 families each week at the Sunday Shelf in Mwanza

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 344 each week. Donations have dropped by about 59% this winter, 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 Mwanza 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 $200 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $125 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
