Help Rey keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Pasig is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Tuesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 349 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Pasig 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:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $130
• Baby formula and diapers: $120
If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Rey
Thank you all. We're at 38% now ($115). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward baby formula and diapers.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rey?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about refrigeration and electricity, advice is welcome too. I'll keep the page updated.
Thanks for sharing this, Rey. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
