Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Tuesday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 383 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Dundee 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 $2,400 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $930
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $750
• Baby formula and diapers: $440
• Refrigeration and electricity: $280
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Heather. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Pasig so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Thinking of you, Heather. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending good thoughts, Heather. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Springfield.
take care. I hope things turn around soon. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Chicago.
Keep going, Heather. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.

Hang in there, Heather. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
