Feed 342 families each week at the Harvest Pantry in Kasarani

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of a community center. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 342 each week. Donations have dropped by about 44% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Kasarani market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $300 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $125 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150 Thank you for reading my story. - Achieng
