🇳🇬 Enugu, Enugu, Nigeria789 views
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 284 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Enugu market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $180
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
Thanks for reading all this.

Thank you all. We're at 15% now ($45). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward refrigeration and electricity.
