Makati
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 255 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Makati 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: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $270 • Baby formula and diapers: $65 • Refrigeration and electricity: $15 Thank you for reading my story.
