Shubra
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Harvest Pantry every Sunday from the back of the mosque courtyard. We started with 23 families, and now we feed 270 each week. Donations have dropped by about 31% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 14 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Shubra 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 $350 goes: โ€ข Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $135 โ€ข Refrigeration and electricity: $30 โ€ข Fresh vegetables and fruit: $185 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
