Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 82 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Zanzibar City market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $150
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $65
• Refrigeration and electricity: $35
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
