Help Katherine keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Bellevue is running low just as demand rises; $1,350 will stock it for 12 weeks.
🇺🇸 Bellevue, Washington, United States2,953 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 296 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 55% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bellevue 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 $1,350 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $450
• Refrigeration and electricity: $320
• Baby formula and diapers: $580
With deep gratitude,
Katherine

Praying for you, Katherine. I hope things turn around soon.
So sorry you're going through this, Katherine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City.
You're not alone, Katherine. Hope this works out for you.
good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from El Paso.
Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Sending love. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning. Take care.
