Weekly meals for students and shift workers in Santos
Rafael runs a volunteer pantry feeding 343 families; this fund restocks shelves for the harvest gap.
🇧🇷 São Paulo, Brazil849 views
Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Sunday Shelf every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 343 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this harvest gap, 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 Santos 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): $300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $240
• Baby formula and diapers: $160
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
Thanks for reading all this.
