Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 279 each week. Donations have dropped by about 48% this winter, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 7 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Uppsala market and keep every receipt. Each $30 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 $1,400 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $660 • Refrigeration and electricity: $230 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $510 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
