Help Ravi keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
The Community Pantry pantry in Rajkot is running low just as demand rises; $250 will stock it for 6 weeks.
🇮🇳 Gujarat, India599 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Sunday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 393 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 50% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rajkot market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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 $250 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
• Baby formula and diapers: $95
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $95
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending good thoughts. More neighborhoods should do this. Love from Coventry.
