Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 68 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 55% this winter, 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 Coyoacán market and keep every receipt.
Each $15 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $800 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $490
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $260
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Bhopal
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Thinking of you and your family, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending strength, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!
Thinking of you and your family, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Coyoacán
Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Coyoacán
Take care, Daniel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Good luck, Daniel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Kikuyu but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Coyoacán.
hope you get there. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone, Daniel. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
