Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Saturday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 30 families, and now we feed 205 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 32% this winter, 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 Narayanganj 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 $200 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $100
• Refrigeration and electricity: $45
• Baby formula and diapers: $55
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
