Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 147 each week. Donations have dropped by about 53% this winter, 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 Quezon City 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 $350 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260 • Baby formula and diapers: $70 Thanks for reading all this.

  • Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Quezon City.

    • Hope things get better soon, Nenita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Rabat so I could bring a meal. All the best.
