Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Friday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 80 each week. Donations have dropped by about 36% this harvest gap, 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 Dhaka market and keep every receipt. Each $5 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $45 • Baby formula and diapers: $65 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 Thanks for reading all this.
