Help Kaito keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
Kaito runs a volunteer pantry feeding 144 families; this fund restocks shelves for the rainy season.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 144 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Setagaya market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,200
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100
• Baby formula and diapers: $390
• Refrigeration and electricity: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.
