Feed 347 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Manila

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 347 each week. Donations have dropped by about 48% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Manila 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $160 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $110 • Baby formula and diapers: $75 • Refrigeration and electricity: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Faith
