Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 200 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 52% this school holidays, 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 Cape Coast 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $320
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
