Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 340 each week. Donations have dropped by about 58% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Warsaw market and keep every receipt. Each $15 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 $1,450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $830 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $260 • Baby formula and diapers: $250 • Refrigeration and electricity: $110 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Thinking of you, Artur. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
