Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Thursday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 69 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this harvest gap, 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 Thủ Đức 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $190
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
• Baby formula and diapers: $75
• Refrigeration and electricity: $55
Glad we found this place.
