Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 19 families, and now we feed 341 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 54% this school holidays, 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 New Delhi 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 $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $330
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $140
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
If you're reading this, thank you.

The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale) is the biggest at $330. Good question.

So sorry you're going through this, Vaibhav. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

Thinking of you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
