Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 28 families, and now we feed 299 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 44% this school holidays, 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 Thrissur market and keep every receipt.
Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $200 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $35
• Refrigeration and electricity: $20
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $145

Good luck, Naveen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
