Help Musa keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked

The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Ikeja is running low just as demand rises; $400 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Ikeja
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 306 each week. Donations have dropped by about 51% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Ikeja 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $290 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 • Baby formula and diapers: $85 With deep gratitude, Musa

  • Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Ikeja.

    • Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.

      • hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

            Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
