Cox's Bazar
Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 151 each week. Donations have dropped by about 58% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Cox's Bazar market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $200 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $85 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $50 • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Fatema
