Feed 242 families each week at the Harvest Pantry in Los Angeles

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 242 each week. Donations have dropped by about 46% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Los Angeles market and keep every receipt. Each $40 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $1,700 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $430 • Refrigeration and electricity: $210 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,060 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Wesley
