Help Gopal keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Nagpur is running low just as demand rises; $450 will stock it for 8 weeks.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India449 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Wednesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 399 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nagpur 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

Updates from Gopal
Good news. Because of your gifts ($213 in total) the plan for refrigeration and electricity is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $158 raised so far (35%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Thinking of you, Gopal. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Christchurch
Good luck. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Petrópolis but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hang in there, Gopal. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
