Feed 88 families each week at Neighbors' Pantry in Lucknow
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Lucknow is running low just as demand rises; $350 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 88 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 36% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Lucknow 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 $350 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210
• Baby formula and diapers: $85
Thank you so much.

The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

Hope it all works out, Divya. Shared this with my family.
Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings!
thinking of you and your family, Divya. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Lucknow.
Wishing you peace, Divya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
