Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 73 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 53% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the San Sebastián market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,000
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $340
• Baby formula and diapers: $380
• Refrigeration and electricity: $230
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going, Gustavo. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Obuasi.
Best of luck. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Nha Trang
Hang in there, Gustavo. Your post was clear and honest.
