Help Emine keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Freiburg is running low just as demand rises; $1,100 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 62 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 53% this summer, 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 Freiburg market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 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:
• Baby formula and diapers: $370
• Refrigeration and electricity: $155
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $575
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

how is Emine doing now?
good luck, Emine. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
you're not alone, Emine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Keep going, Emine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
