Since 2019, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Monday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 347 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this summer, 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 Rajkot market and keep every receipt. Each $10 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): $200 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $140 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Shailesh
