Weekly meals for neighbors in need in Birmingham

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Wednesday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 13 families, and now we feed 149 each week. Donations have dropped by about 57% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 19 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Birmingham market and keep every receipt. Each $45 feeds a family of four for a week. All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs. Where the $1,000 goes: • Refrigeration and electricity: $290 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $340 • Baby formula and diapers: $370 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
