Feed 349 families each week at Open Hands Pantry in Ciudad de México

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 349 each week. Donations have dropped by about 59% this rainy season, 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 Ciudad de México 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 $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $280 • Baby formula and diapers: $120 • Refrigeration and electricity: $100 Thanks for being kind about this.
