Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 184 each week. Donations have dropped by about 56% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 8 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 $750 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $120 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $580 Thank you so much. - Kelly
