Gangnam
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 298 each week. Donations have dropped by about 45% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Gangnam market and keep every receipt. Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $1,700 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $870 • Refrigeration and electricity: $85 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $745 If you're reading this, thank you.

      Thank you. If you're in Gangnam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
