Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 160 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 52% this harvest gap, 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 Berlin market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 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 $1,950 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $760
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $670
• Baby formula and diapers: $360
• Refrigeration and electricity: $160
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, David. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Spanish Town.
