Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 60 each week. Donations have dropped by about 54% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dammam market and keep every receipt. Each $15 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 $1,400 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $270 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $580 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $550 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Hadi
