Help Waweru keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked
The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Mombasa is running low just as demand rises; $200 will stock it for 11 weeks.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 186 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 40% this winter, 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 Mombasa market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $200 goes:
• Baby formula and diapers: $70
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $100
• Refrigeration and electricity: $30
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Waweru.
Hope it all works out, Waweru. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Mombasa.
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
