Help Geeta keep the Open Hands Pantry pantry stocked

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 244 each week. Donations have dropped by about 48% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the London 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 $2,350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $850 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,050 • Baby formula and diapers: $210 • Refrigeration and electricity: $240 Glad we found this place. - Geeta
