Weekly meals for elderly neighbors in Hubballi

Since 2022, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a community center. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 209 each week. Donations have dropped by about 30% this summer, 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 Hubballi 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: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $185 • Baby formula and diapers: $60 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $105 With deep gratitude, Tushar
