Help keep a free food pantry open for neighbors in need in Kyiv.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 181 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 46% 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 Kyiv 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 $550 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $195
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
Thank you so much.

39% there. the first invoice got paid this week. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($45 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
