Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 87 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 57% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bucaramanga 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 $450 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $200
• Baby formula and diapers: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, Paloma. Hope this works out for you
Wishing you the best, Paloma. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Agra but we're thinking of you.
so sorry you're going through this, Paloma. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My neighbor in Akron donated after I showed her your page.
rooting for you, Paloma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
