Weekly meals for neighbors in need in Tarkwa

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 155 each week. Donations have dropped by about 50% this winter, 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 Tarkwa 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 $250 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $160 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
