Feed 74 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Dnipro

The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Dnipro is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 9 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 74 each week. Donations have dropped by about 31% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dnipro 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 $300 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $80 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 • Refrigeration and electricity: $15 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Anna
