Feed 87 families each week at Community Pantry in Nottingham

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 87 each week. Donations have dropped by about 53% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nottingham market and keep every receipt. Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,300 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,000 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $910 • Baby formula and diapers: $190 • Refrigeration and electricity: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
