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

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 12 families, and now we feed 276 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Nashville market and keep every receipt.
Each $25 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,100
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,100
• Baby formula and diapers: $520
• Refrigeration and electricity: $330
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Miles. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kathmandu
Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Nashville
Thank you. If you're in Nashville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Magelang this morning. Greetings from Magelang.
You're not alone, Miles. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours.
Rooting for you, Miles. Shared this with my family.
You're not alone, Miles. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Miles. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Makati.
You're not alone, Miles. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
