Since 2019, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Sunday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 110 each week. Donations have dropped by about 56% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 18 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the New Delhi 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 $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $165 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $170 • Baby formula and diapers: $90 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 Every share and every dollar helps.
