Help Mihaela keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
Mihaela runs a volunteer pantry feeding 146 families; this fund restocks shelves for the summer.
🇷🇴 București, București, Romania1,338 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 146 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this summer, 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 București market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $620
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $330
• Refrigeration and electricity: $150
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone, Mihaela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Aswan.
Any update on how things are going in București?
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Jacksonville.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Chattogram.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Mihaela?
Thank you. If you're in București I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
wishing you peace, Mihaela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Tampa!
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Nha Trang
Hope things get better soon. Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
good luck, Mihaela. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
