Weekly meals for elderly neighbors in Saint-Denis
Help keep a free food pantry open for elderly neighbors in Saint-Denis.
🇫🇷 France3,563 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 265 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Saint-Denis market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $810
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
• Baby formula and diapers: $290
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Ibrahima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Saint-Denis.
How is Ibrahima doing now?
Good luck, Ibrahima. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ibrahima.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. fresh vegetables and fruit is the biggest at $810. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this, Ibrahima. Shared it with a few friends. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ibrahima?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about fresh vegetables and fruit, advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Thinking of you. Great idea, hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Pune.
