Help Idowu keep the Open Hands Pantry pantry stocked

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Monday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 265 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Benin City market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Refrigeration and electricity: $40 I hope life is good to you.
