Help Rahim keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Bogra is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 12 weeks.

Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Monday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 8 families, and now we feed 275 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 11 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bogra 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 $300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $110
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
• Baby formula and diapers: $35
• Refrigeration and electricity: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

We're at 52% thanks to 7 of you. I made the first payment toward rice, beans, flour and oil. More news soon.
Update from Bogra: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 32% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Magelang.
Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Nuremberg but we're thinking of you
