The Neighbors' Pantry pantry in Rochester is running low just as demand rises; $3,350 will stock it for 7 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 185 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 58% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Rochester market and keep every receipt.
Each $30 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,450
• Refrigeration and electricity: $280
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,620
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Wishing you the best, Liam. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Keep going, Liam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care.
