Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Tuesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 101 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 42% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Miami market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,700
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $400
• Baby formula and diapers: $240
• Refrigeration and electricity: $160
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 9 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Depok but we're thinking of you.
Best of luck, Ezra. Hope this works out for you.
Sending strength. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Keep going, Ezra. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Miami.
Take care. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Miami.
