Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 9 families, and now we feed 360 each week. Donations have dropped by about 34% this harvest gap, 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 Biratnagar market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $230 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $185 Thank you so much.
