Help Esther keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Esther runs a volunteer pantry feeding 91 families; this fund restocks shelves for the summer.
🇳🇱 Utrecht, Utrecht, Netherlands332 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 91 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Utrecht market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 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 $1,300 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $175
• Baby formula and diapers: $400
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $725
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
