Help Narayan keep the Open Hands Pantry pantry stocked

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 367 each week. Donations have dropped by about 54% 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 Lalitpur 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $170 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $175 • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 Thanks for being kind about this.
