Coventry

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Wednesday from the back of a community center. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 95 each week. Donations have dropped by about 38% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Coventry market and keep every receipt. Each $35 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 $2,700 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,500 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $890 • Baby formula and diapers: $210 • Refrigeration and electricity: $100 Glad we found this place.
