Help Mussa keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked

The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Entebbe is running low just as demand rises; $200 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 279 each week. Donations have dropped by about 43% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Entebbe market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $200 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $120 • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $50 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Mussa
