Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Atlanta

Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Tuesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 15 families, and now we feed 166 each week. Donations have dropped by about 37% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Atlanta market and keep every receipt. Each $60 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $2,400 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $990 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,150 • Refrigeration and electricity: $260 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Aurora
