Help Farhan keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Quetta is running low just as demand rises; $250 will stock it for 8 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 221 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this harvest gap, 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 Quetta 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 $250 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $125
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($41). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Update from Quetta: we've started the first stage. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Wishing you the best, Farhan. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Jakarta
Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
