Help Iwona keep the the Second Helping pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Gdańsk.
🇵🇱 Gdańsk, Pomerania, Poland792 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 312 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Gdańsk market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 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 $1,050 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $200
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $620
• Baby formula and diapers: $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
