Weekly meals for families facing hunger in Miami
Help keep a free food pantry open for families facing hunger in Miami.
🇺🇸 Miami, Florida, United StatesPosted Sep 27, 2025794 views
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Thursday from the back of a community center. We started with 29 families, and now we feed 357 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 38% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Miami market and keep every receipt.
Each $55 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Refrigeration and electricity: $185
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $890
• Baby formula and diapers: $625
Thank you for reading my story.
Updates from Hadley
Good news. Because of your gifts ($179 in total) I made the first payment toward refrigeration and electricity. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $80 raised so far (5%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($55 in total) the plan for refrigeration and electricity is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
