Help Ariana keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Belfast.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,652 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 371 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this winter, 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 Belfast market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,000
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,000
• Baby formula and diapers: $570
• Refrigeration and electricity: $180
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from New Delhi.
Rooting for you, Ariana. More neighborhoods should do this. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Love from Lapu-Lapu!
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 13 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
You're not alone. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
