Help Carolina keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Barcelona.
🇪🇸 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain2,249 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 86 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 58% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Barcelona market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,200
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $850
• Baby formula and diapers: $155
• Refrigeration and electricity: $245
Every share and every dollar helps.

This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 17 people at work.
Keep going, Carolina. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Lahore this morning. Love from Lahore.
Rooting for you, Carolina. Your post was clear and honest.
So sorry you're going through this, Carolina. Looking forward to the next update.
