Londrina
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Sunday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 22 families, and now we feed 81 each week. Donations have dropped by about 52% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Londrina market and keep every receipt. Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,000 goes: โ€ข Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $540 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $195 โ€ข Baby formula and diapers: $175 โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $90 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    could you add a copy of the shopping receipts with private details blacked out?

    • Daniel MoreiraOwnerAnswerAddress verified

      I sent the shopping receipts in when I posted. I'll upload a redacted copy this week. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • More neighborhoods should do this!

    • Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

      • Sending love, Daniel. Hope this works out for you.
