Help Rania keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 211 each week. Donations have dropped by about 37% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Alexandria market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $110 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $120 • Baby formula and diapers: $85 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Rania
