Help keep a free food pantry open for students and shift workers in Monterrey.

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 312 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 36% this harvest gap, 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 Monterrey market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 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 $900 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $160
• Refrigeration and electricity: $70
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $670
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thanks for sharing this. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Gazipur so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Sakai
sending good thoughts, Gustavo. More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning. Thinking of Monterrey.
Hang in there, Gustavo. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
sending good thoughts, Gustavo. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
