Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 236 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this summer, 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 Boulogne-Billancourt market and keep every receipt.
Each $45 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 $2,000 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $840
• Baby formula and diapers: $185
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $975
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
