The number of needy and handicapped families that Buenos Vecinos feeds monthly has grown immensely over the past couple of years while their funding has remained fairly stagnant. They never before have had to make this kind of a general plea for funding. Here are some facts supplied by co-chairman Gail Cody:

A Coconut member pays $360 a year to support a client/family, some do it monthly payments of $30. We have lost 20 Coconut members this last year alone due to people moving mostly.
The monthly cost to feed 120 clients averages $3800 in nonperishable food bought in bulk
Client numbers have increased from 25 to 120 in 7 years
NO administrative costs etc, all $$ to food.
