Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 149 each week. Donations have dropped by about 52% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mississauga market and keep every receipt. Each $55 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $840 • Refrigeration and electricity: $160 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $500 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Baptiste
