Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 27 families, and now we feed 329 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 43% this summer, 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 Nashik market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $350 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $140
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $110
• Baby formula and diapers: $60
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
