Help Gabriel keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Rio de Janeiro is running low just as demand rises; $400 will stock it for 10 weeks.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 241 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this harvest gap, 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 Rio de Janeiro market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $400 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $170
• Baby formula and diapers: $135
• Refrigeration and electricity: $95
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Rio de Janeiro. I'll ask around and let you know
