Help Marcel keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Braunschweig is running low just as demand rises; $1,450 will stock it for 12 weeks.
🇩🇪 Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany861 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 149 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% 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 Braunschweig 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 $1,450 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $340
• Baby formula and diapers: $500
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $610

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
