Help John keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in London is running low just as demand rises; $1,150 will stock it for 7 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 355 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this harvest gap, 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 London 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 $1,150 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $380
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $430
• Refrigeration and electricity: $340
Thank you so much.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($86 in total) I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $86 raised so far (7%). I made the first payment toward fresh vegetables and fruit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
