Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 189 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Fayetteville market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,850
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $840
• Baby formula and diapers: $380
• Refrigeration and electricity: $230
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love, Emery. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Jodhpur.
best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless!
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 9 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
