Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 330 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jabalpur 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 $400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $125
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Thinking of you and your family. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thanks for sharing this, Harsh. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Sherbrooke but we're thinking of you. Love from Sherbrooke
