Help Grace keep the the Second Helping pantry stocked

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 213 each week. Donations have dropped by about 34% this summer, 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 Oakland 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 $2,100 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,250 • Refrigeration and electricity: $240 • Baby formula and diapers: $610 Thank you for reading my story.
