Cairo
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 10 families, and now we feed 375 each week. Donations have dropped by about 47% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Cairo 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $140 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $170 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Refrigeration and electricity: $30 Glad we found this place.
