Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 116 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Lagos market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $125 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Chioma
