Help Sagar keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
Sagar runs a volunteer pantry feeding 356 families; this fund restocks shelves for the winter.
🇳🇵 Butwal, Lumbini, Nepal528 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 356 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 35% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Butwal 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 $350 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $260
• Baby formula and diapers: $50
• Refrigeration and electricity: $40
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Sagar. Hope this works out for you. Love from Manchester.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Keep going, Sagar. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
