Help Jasmine keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
The Community Pantry pantry in Quezon City is running low just as demand rises; $250 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Monday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 135 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Quezon City market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $250 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $85
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $140
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
