Help Brielle keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
The Community Pantry pantry in Vancouver is running low just as demand rises; $1,250 will stock it for 7 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 204 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Vancouver market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 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 $1,250 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $440
• Baby formula and diapers: $600
• Refrigeration and electricity: $210
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Hang in there. More neighborhoods should do this. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from San Antonio.
