Help keep a free food pantry open for neighbors in need in Epe.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Tuesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 69 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 52% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Epe market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 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 $200 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $105
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
