Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Monday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 14 families, and now we feed 143 each week.
Donations have dropped by about 48% this winter, while the line has grown every single week.
We rely on volunteers - 13 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the St. Petersburg market and keep every receipt.
Each $60 feeds a family of four for a week.
All of the funds go to groceries, fresh produce, and cold-storage costs.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,300
• Fresh vegetables and fruit: $1,400
• Baby formula and diapers: $300
• Refrigeration and electricity: $300
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you, Thomas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
Thinking of you, Thomas. Hope this works out for you
So sorry you're going through this, Thomas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did!
