Help Luis keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Berlin is running low just as demand rises; $1,050 will stock it for 12 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 25 families, and now we feed 214 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 30% this summer, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Berlin 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 $1,050 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $250
• Refrigeration and electricity: $220
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $580
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Luis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Berlin
stay strong, Luis. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Campinas.
Sending strength, Luis. Looking forward to the next update. Love from London.
Hope it all works out, Luis. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Tacoma.
