Help Mónica keep the the Second Helping pantry stocked

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Monday from the back of a community center. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 63 each week. Donations have dropped by about 34% this winter, 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 Medellín market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $1,000 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $560 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210 • Baby formula and diapers: $145 • Refrigeration and electricity: $85 Thanks for reading all this.
