Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 300 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% 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 Udaipur market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $310
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $120
• Baby formula and diapers: $65
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you, Meena. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Hope things get better soon, Meena. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Udaipur
