Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 231 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the San Jose 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 $1,950 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
• Baby formula and diapers: $540
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Everly. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Birmingham.
