Mandaue
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 124 each week. Donations have dropped by about 33% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 10 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mandaue market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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 $250 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $20 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $170 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
