Feed 358 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in London
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in London is running low just as demand rises; $2,000 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 358 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the London market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,250
• Refrigeration and electricity: $310
• Baby formula and diapers: $440
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Stay strong, James. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope things get better soon, James. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Sending love, James. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't give up.
Wishing you peace, James. This could happen to any of us
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of London.
Take care, James. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, James. Hope this works out for you. God bless
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending good thoughts, James. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
