Envigado
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 83 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this harvest gap, 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 Envigado 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 $750 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $370 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $270 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 With deep gratitude, Gabriel
