Help Isabel keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Isabel runs a volunteer pantry feeding 61 families; this fund restocks shelves for the summer.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Tuesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 61 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 54% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Makati 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 $200 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $65
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $65
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

great idea, hope you get there. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Wishing you peace. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Makati.
