Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 224 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bristol market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,850
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,050
• Baby formula and diapers: $460
• Refrigeration and electricity: $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Best of luck, Keith. Hope you get there.
Sending strength, Keith. This could happen to any of us
You're not alone, Keith. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Keith. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Rooting for you, Keith. Hope this works out for you. God bless!
