Feed 90 families each week at Open Hands Pantry in Kathmandu

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 90 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kathmandu market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $250 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 • Baby formula and diapers: $25 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $185 If you're reading this, thank you.
