Salé
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 348 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Salé market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
