Feed 102 families each week at the Harvest Pantry in Londrina

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 26 families, and now we feed 102 each week. Donations have dropped by about 31% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Londrina market and keep every receipt. Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $900 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $510 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150 • Baby formula and diapers: $185 • Refrigeration and electricity: $55 Glad we found this place.
