Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 299 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Multan 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 $300 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $80 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rashid

Updates from Rashid

  1. Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($15). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rice, beans, flour and oil is now scheduled.

  2. Small update. $5 so far, I made the first payment toward rice, beans, flour and oil.
