Since 2021, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Friday from the back of the parish hall. We started with 21 families, and now we feed 153 each week. Donations have dropped by about 55% this rainy season, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 20 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Savannah market and keep every receipt. Each $60 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 $2,800 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $1,800 • Refrigeration and electricity: $390 • Baby formula and diapers: $610 With deep gratitude, Mona

    hope it all works out, Mona. Your post was clear and honest. After 9 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Savannah.

            Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Savannah.
