Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 206 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mumbai 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 $350 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $290
• Baby formula and diapers: $15
If you're reading this, thank you.
