Help Radhika keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Radhika runs a volunteer pantry feeding 299 families; this fund restocks shelves for the harvest gap.
🇮🇳 Kochi, Kerala, India873 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 299 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kochi 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 $450 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $85
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $65
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $300
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Radhika?
Thank you. If you're in Kochi I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
good luck, Radhika. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
How is Radhika doing now?
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Chattanooga.
Praying for you, Radhika. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Love from Saket
Keep going, Radhika. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Take care, Radhika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
