Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 359 each week. Donations have dropped by about 57% 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 Mumbai 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 $250 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $45 • Refrigeration and electricity: $45 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $160 With deep gratitude, Nargis
