Quezon City
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Second Helping every Tuesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 299 each week. Donations have dropped by about 38% this winter, 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 Quezon City 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 $350 goes: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $170 • Baby formula and diapers: $30 Thanks for being kind about this.
