Help Vincenzo keep the the Second Helping pantry stocked

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Thursday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 287 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this rainy season, 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 Bologna market and keep every receipt. Each $40 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 $1,650 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,150 • Refrigeration and electricity: $100 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $400 Thanks for being kind about this. - Vincenzo
