Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 141 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Regensburg market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,400
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $930
• Baby formula and diapers: $280
• Refrigeration and electricity: $290
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in El Paso this morning. Blessings
Stay strong, Ingrid. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Rooting for you, Ingrid. More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Sapporo but we're thinking of you. Love from Sapporo.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Contagem so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Ingrid. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope things get better soon, Ingrid. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
sending love, Ingrid. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
