Buenos Aires
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 176 each week. Donations have dropped by about 34% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Buenos Aires 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 $650 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $185 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $290 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 • Refrigeration and electricity: $105 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Aarón
