Help Simon keep the Neighbors' Pantry pantry stocked
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Augsburg is running low just as demand rises; $3,150 will stock it for 9 weeks.
🇩🇪 Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany3,137 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 84 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 58% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Augsburg market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,600
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,000
• Baby formula and diapers: $400
• Refrigeration and electricity: $150
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Simon?
Thank you. If you're in Augsburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Keep going, Simon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Sending good thoughts, Simon. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
