Feed 123 families each week at the Thursday Table in San Fernando
The the Thursday Table pantry in San Fernando is running low just as demand rises; $300 will stock it for 12 weeks.
🇵🇭 San Fernando, Pampanga, Philippines2,013 views
Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 16 families, and now we feed 123 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 60% this harvest gap, 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 San Fernando market and keep every receipt.
Each $10 feeds a family of four for a week.
I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday.
Where the $300 goes:
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $130
• Baby formula and diapers: $80
• Refrigeration and electricity: $90
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Fernando.
Best of luck, Herman. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
