Weekly meals for neighbors in need in Likoni
The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Likoni is running low just as demand rises; $350 will stock it for 7 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 193 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 34% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Likoni market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $350 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $200
• Baby formula and diapers: $105
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
I hope life is good to you.
