Help Sarah keep the Community Pantry pantry stocked
The Community Pantry pantry in Grenoble is running low just as demand rises; $2,600 will stock it for 9 weeks.
🇫🇷 Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France1,506 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 270 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Grenoble market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,600 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $750
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100
• Baby formula and diapers: $520
• Refrigeration and electricity: $230
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

wishing you peace, Sarah. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. God bless
You're not alone, Sarah. Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Nizamabad so I could bring a meal. All the best.
hope things get better soon. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Blessings.
