Help Herman keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Quezon City is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 8 weeks.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines1,743 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 311 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Quezon City market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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 $500 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $230
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Refrigeration and electricity: $10
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

more neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Cairo
You're not alone, Herman. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
