Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Los Angeles.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 160 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 56% this harvest gap, 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 Los Angeles market and keep every receipt.
Each $50 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,000 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $440
• Refrigeration and electricity: $240
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,320
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Stay strong, Kamal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 38 people at work.
So sorry you're going through this, Kamal. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Thủ Đức this morning. Greetings from Thủ Đức.
