Food Crate | Winter Staples to a Cold Door

Each crate holds the winter staples a family cooks with daily, flour, cooking oil, rice, lentils, bulgur and sugar. The contents are itemised so you know precisely what reached the door.

One crate covers weeks of meals for an average household, depending on family size. It is built around staples that stretch, so a parent can plan dinners through the coldest stretch of the season.

Our field teams move within 72 hours of a crate being funded, packing and routing it to the family. Snow-closed roads can add time, but the crate is always logged from warehouse to door.

Every delivery is recorded with the family name and a photo at the door. That proof reaches your inbox, so you see the exact moment your crate was carried inside.

We work across humanitarian fronts on four continents, from Mosul to Juba to the floodlands near Taiz. Crates go to families whose shelves emptied before the cold arrived.

Yes. Many donors dedicate a crate to a loved one. We carry the name with the delivery, and you receive the door photo as a record of the meal it made possible.

Yes. Quenara operates under a Delaware 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You receive a tax-deductible receipt with our EIN for your records after your gift is processed.

Our field crews pack each crate by hand near the delivery region, sourcing staples locally where possible. This keeps supply chains short and gets warm meals to the door faster.

Of course. Many donors fund several at once, often for a workplace collection or a family pledge. Each crate still reaches a separate named household with its own photo proof.

Never. A crate is given freely to a family in need. There is no cost, no condition and no expectation of return, only a warm pot of food in a cold home.

Our field teams assess need on the ground, prioritising households with no income, young children or elderly members, and shelves already bare before winter set in.

Your gift covers the staples, the local packing and the last-mile delivery to the door. Each cost is tracked, and the itemised crate contents are shared with the proof of delivery.

Staples reach the pot directly and cannot be lost or diverted. In regions where shops are shut or shelves are bare, a sealed crate of flour and rice is what a family can actually cook.
