Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Neighbors' Pantry every Monday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 195 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 39% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Indore 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $115
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Harini. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Rooting for you, Harini. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
rooting for you, Harini. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Thinking of Indore.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope February is when things finally get easier.
