Since 2020, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Tuesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 288 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this summer, 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 Jodhpur 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 $350 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $140 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $145 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Refrigeration and electricity: $5 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sayali
