Feed 61 families each week at the Sunday Shelf in Asaba
Help keep a free food pantry open for families and seniors in Asaba.
🇳🇬 Asaba, Delta, Nigeria790 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 61 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Asaba market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $195
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150
• Baby formula and diapers: $40
• Refrigeration and electricity: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Khadija
Good news. Because of your gifts ($56 in total) the plan for rice, beans, flour and oil is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
