Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 273 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 53% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Abuja 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 $500 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $240
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $175
• Baby formula and diapers: $60
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this. Your post was clear and honest. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Ebuka. Looking forward to the next update.
sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
