Help Itzhak keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Beersheba.
🇮🇱 Beersheba, Southern, Israel1,069 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 380 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 33% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Beersheba market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $590
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $370
• Refrigeration and electricity: $290
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

stay strong, Itzhak. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope July is when things finally get easier. All the best
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Bristol this morning.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Nîmes.
Hang in there, Itzhak. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Paris.
Thanks for sharing this, Itzhak. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Miami so I could bring a meal. Love from Machakos.
