Help Yogita keep the the Harvest Pantry pantry stocked

The the Harvest Pantry pantry in Mumbai is running low just as demand rises; $350 will stock it for 6 weeks.

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Monday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 11 families, and now we feed 246 each week. Donations have dropped by about 52% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 9 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Mumbai 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: • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 • Refrigeration and electricity: $55 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $190 With deep gratitude, Yogita

      Thinking of you and your family. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
