Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Cebu City.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 396 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Cebu City 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 $550 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $265
Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you all. We're at 10% now ($55). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward fresh vegetables and fruit.
Small update. $55 so far, I made the first payment toward baby formula and diapers.

Stay strong, Angelo. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
