The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Mumbai is running low just as demand rises; $450 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 123 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 57% this summer, 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 Mumbai 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 $450 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $185
• Baby formula and diapers: $100
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Glad we found this place.

We're at 24% thanks to 2 of you. the plan for rice, beans, flour and oil is now scheduled. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($108 in total) I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Mumbai: I met with the wholesaler and confirmed the amounts. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
