Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 242 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 59% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Aswan 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 $400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $180
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
