Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Jodhpur.

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.
