Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 315 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Radom 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $600
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $230
• Baby formula and diapers: $145
• Refrigeration and electricity: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Medan so I could bring a meal. Love from Kampala
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Agnieszka
Sure. The biggest one is rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale), $600. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you the best, Agnieszka. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Bogotá but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Radom.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Mumbai.

Hang in there, Agnieszka. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
