Help Laurent keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Toulon is running low just as demand rises; $2,150 will stock it for 12 weeks.
Anywhere in the world2,896 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Wednesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 77 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Toulon market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $520
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,400
• Baby formula and diapers: $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

keep going, Laurent. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 9 people at work. Love from Pretoria.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Laurent?
Thank you. If you're in Toulon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
shared this with my family. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Laurent. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Fort Portal so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Mumbai.
best of luck, Laurent. Hope this works out for you. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Best of luck, Laurent. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Montpellier
Sending good thoughts, Laurent. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Love from Los Angeles.
