Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Chattanooga

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 365 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Chattanooga market and keep every receipt. Each $60 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 $1,900 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $180 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,450 • Baby formula and diapers: $270 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Ella
