Help Rafaela keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 161 each week. Donations have dropped by about 33% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Ribeirão Preto market and keep every receipt. Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $850 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $100 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $440 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $310 With deep gratitude, Rafaela
