Adopt an Activist - Will you help Josh feed Darbo?
The Darbo Pantry Project needs your support to keep Josh on the job
The Darbo Pantry Project is appealing to friends and neighbors to help us keep Joshua Holmes on the job. Josh has been working hard this season hauling food into Darbo and we’ve only been able to pay him a few hours a week. DPP is a very low-budget operation and we’re hoping to sign up a few sustainers to keep it going.
We had a small grant from the City SEED fund this year to re-activate the pantry in the community center on Darbo Drive. Unfortunately, there was a water main break and flood in the building this Spring so we had to continue with just mobile pop-up pantries.
Now the building’s fixed up, winter’s on the way, outdoor pop-up food distribution will have to stop and we’re out of money. We need to re-open the indoor pantry closed since 2018 so low-income neighbors have greater food access in this Eastside food desert.
Joshua is keen to lead the project and make things happen but needs some community support. Can you help DPP keep Joshua on the job serving neighbors in Darbo?
Please considering making a small reoccurring donation if you are able. If everyone who reads this chipped in $5 a month, that would likely more than cover Josh’s meager wages. Of course, one-time donations of any amount are also greatly appreciated!
