Weekly meals for students and shift workers in Spokane

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Sunday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 284 each week. Donations have dropped by about 34% this winter, 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 Spokane market and keep every receipt. Each $45 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 $1,000 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $460 • Refrigeration and electricity: $190 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Arianna
