The Harvest Pantry: keep the shelves full this harvest gap

Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of the old library basement. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 71 each week. Donations have dropped by about 52% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 12 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Bengaluru 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 $350 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $55 • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $130 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $165 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Kunal
