Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 316 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this summer, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Khulna 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 $250 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 • Baby formula and diapers: $65 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150 If you're reading this, thank you. - Farhana

    • Thank you. If you're in Khulna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
