Help Evelyn keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Worcester is running low just as demand rises; $2,700 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 283 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 56% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Worcester market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 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 $2,700 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $360
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $550
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,790
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
