Help Krishnan keep the the Second Helping pantry stocked

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 148 each week. Donations have dropped by about 60% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Prayagraj 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 $450 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $175 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $195 • Refrigeration and electricity: $80 With deep gratitude, Krishnan
