Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Wednesday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 365 each week. Donations have dropped by about 35% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 16 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Leicester market and keep every receipt. Each $35 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,150 goes: โ€ข Baby formula and diapers: $450 โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $115 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $585 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
