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. - Meena

    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
