Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 391 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Malmö market and keep every receipt. Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,850 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $930 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100 • Baby formula and diapers: $450 • Refrigeration and electricity: $370 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Thinking of you and your family, Eva. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless

      • gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

        • A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Skåne. I'll ask around and let you know

          • Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.

            • praying for you, Eva. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
