Help Princess keep the Open Hands Pantry pantry stocked

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 284 each week. Donations have dropped by about 56% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 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 $550 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $190 • Baby formula and diapers: $120 • Refrigeration and electricity: $10 Thank you for reading my story. - Princess
