Help Jordan keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked

Jordan runs a volunteer pantry feeding 350 families; this fund restocks shelves for the harvest gap.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 350 each week. Donations have dropped by about 33% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Aberdeen 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 $2,600 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $510 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,050 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,040 Thank you so much. - Jordan

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Aberdeen.

      Thank you. If you're in Aberdeen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

      Thinking of you. More neighborhoods should do this. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Aberdeen.

      • Maria R. Pangilinan

        best of luck. More neighborhoods should do this. After 24 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything
