Weekly meals for elderly neighbors in Bogra

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Friday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 278 each week. Donations have dropped by about 55% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bogra 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): $220 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $70 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $10 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
