Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 121 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 41% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 15 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the San Francisco market and keep every receipt.
Each $40 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 $1,950 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $370
• Baby formula and diapers: $350
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,230
I hope life is good to you.

take care, Gabriel. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
This could happen to any of us. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Love from Edinburgh.
