Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 256 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 47% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Alcalá de Henares market and keep every receipt.
Each $20 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,350 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $920
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $280
• Baby formula and diapers: $150
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
