Help Ananya keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for neighbors in need in Coimbatore.
🇮🇳 Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India360 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 148 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Coimbatore 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 $150 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $95
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $5
With deep gratitude,
Ananya

Hang in there, Ananya. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Blessings
Praying for you, Ananya. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Pretoria this morning.
