Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Saturday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 179 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 39% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Lahore 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 $350 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $195
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $80
• Baby formula and diapers: $45
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
With deep gratitude,
Shaista
