Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Thursday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 372 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Augsburg market and keep every receipt. Each $35 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,150 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,250 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $390 • Baby formula and diapers: $360 • Refrigeration and electricity: $150 If you're reading this, thank you.
