Help Rajiv keep the the Sunday Shelf pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Thane.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 137 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% 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 Thane 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $170
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $210
• Baby formula and diapers: $40
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Glad we found this place.
