Help Kavitha keep the Open Hands Pantry pantry stocked

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run Open Hands Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 18 families, and now we feed 115 each week. Donations have dropped by about 36% this harvest gap, 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 Mumbai market and keep every receipt. Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $220 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $80 • Baby formula and diapers: $75 • Refrigeration and electricity: $25 With deep gratitude, Kavitha
