Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 396 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 31% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Cầu Giấy 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 $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $250
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $140
• Baby formula and diapers: $100
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
Thank you so much.

you're not alone, Hoàng. More neighborhoods should do this.
Wishing you peace, Hoàng. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Raleigh.
