Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 331 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this rainy season, 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 Bordeaux market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $750
• Refrigeration and electricity: $340
• Baby formula and diapers: $410
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Good luck, Manon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care

Thinking of you and your family. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor in Hubballi donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless!
hang in there, Manon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Best of luck, Manon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Malang.
Best of luck, Manon. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kasarani.
