Multan
Since 2023, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Tuesday from the back of a borrowed garage. We started with 24 families, and now we feed 152 each week. Donations have dropped by about 43% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 17 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Multan 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 $450 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $210 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $160 • Baby formula and diapers: $45 • Refrigeration and electricity: $35 I hope life is good to you.
