Help Esther keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
Esther runs a volunteer pantry feeding 381 families; this fund restocks shelves for the school holidays.
🇳🇬 Badagry, Lagos, Nigeria830 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 381 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Badagry 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 $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $130
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $95
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Refrigeration and electricity: $5
Glad we found this place.
