Help Farah keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Móstoles is running low just as demand rises; $2,500 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Wednesday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 88 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Móstoles 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 $2,500 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $960
• Baby formula and diapers: $260
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,280
I hope life is good to you.

Praying for you. Great idea, hope you get there. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Farah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Thanks for sharing this, Farah. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'll check back for the next update.
Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care
