Help Hanneke keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Rotterdam is running low just as demand rises; $2,650 will stock it for 12 weeks.
🇳🇱 South Holland, Netherlands2,045 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 313 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this harvest gap, 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 Rotterdam market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 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 $2,650 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $270
• Baby formula and diapers: $380
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $2,000
Glad we found this place.

How is Hanneke doing now?
good luck. More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Rotterdam.
hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Good luck, Hanneke. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you the best, Hanneke. I hope things turn around soon. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Sacramento.
Stay strong, Hanneke. Shared it with a few friends.
Sending strength, Hanneke. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Thinking of you and your family, Hanneke. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
