Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Cầu Giấy.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 155 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Cầu Giấy market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $160
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $90
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this, An. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 18 people at work. God bless.
