São Paulo

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 61 each week. Donations have dropped by about 43% this rainy season, 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 São Paulo market and keep every receipt. Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,000 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $430 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $360 • Baby formula and diapers: $145 • Refrigeration and electricity: $65 Thank you so much. - Júlia
