Help Goro keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Tokyo.
🇯🇵 100-4123, Tokyo, Tokyo, JapanPosted Oct 1, 20262,210 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 323 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this rainy season, 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 Tokyo 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 $2,400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,050
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $860
• Baby formula and diapers: $280
• Refrigeration and electricity: $210
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Gwagwalada this morning. Blessings
Sending good thoughts, Goro. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours.
Wishing you the best, Goro. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Riyadh but we're thinking of you.
