Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 245 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jimma 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 $250 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145
• Refrigeration and electricity: $50
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Jimma.
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Likoni but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Jimma!
So sorry you're going through this, Marta. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
