Since 2021, our volunteer team has run Community Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 262 each week. Donations have dropped by about 42% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mysuru 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 $400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $180 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $150 • Baby formula and diapers: $40 • Refrigeration and electricity: $30 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Tejaswini. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
