Help keep a free food pantry open for neighbors in need in Tangier.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 17 families, and now we feed 258 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 58% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Tangier 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 $750 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $340
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $240
• Baby formula and diapers: $110
• Refrigeration and electricity: $60
Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Yusuf
Wanted to say thank you properly. 35% funded and I made the first payment toward baby formula and diapers.
Update from Tangier: we've started the first stage. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless!
Good luck. Great idea, hope you get there. Don't give up
Wishing you peace, Yusuf. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Aurangabad.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Hamilton so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Yusuf. Hope this works out for you.
sending strength, Yusuf. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Cape Town this morning. Thinking of Tangier.
Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Makati.
Sending love, Yusuf. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
