Help Natália keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
The the Sunday Shelf pantry in Uberlândia is running low just as demand rises; $500 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Tuesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 371 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 Uberlândia market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 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 $500 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $155
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $155
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending good thoughts. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless
is there anything that isn't money that would help Natália?
Thank you. If you're in Uberlândia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Best of luck, Natália. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Bekasi this morning. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Natália. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Gaziantep.
