Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 67 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Takoradi market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $350 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $110 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $180 Thank you so much. - Vida
