Help Paisley keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Allentown.
🇺🇸 Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States3,565 views
Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 89 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, 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 Allentown 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 $3,150 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,000
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,950
• Refrigeration and electricity: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
hang in there, Paisley. Great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Buenos Aires but we're thinking of you. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Paisley. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
so sorry you're going through this, Paisley. Great idea, hope you get there. God bless
Best of luck, Paisley. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Bari so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Allentown
Keep going, Paisley. Shared this with my family. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Malmö.
hang in there, Paisley. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
