Help Evelyn keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Boston is running low just as demand rises; $2,800 will stock it for 9 weeks.

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 121 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 55% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Boston market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $2,800 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $2,050
• Refrigeration and electricity: $310
• Baby formula and diapers: $440
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone, Evelyn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 21 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Boston.
Thanks for sharing this, Evelyn. Hope you get there. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best
Sending strength, Evelyn. Looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Kazan
Hang in there, Evelyn. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Dhaka.
Hope things get better soon, Evelyn. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Kazan.
