Feed 161 families each week at the Thursday Table in Wudil

Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Saturday from the back of a community center. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 161 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this school holidays, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 6 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Wudil 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 $500 goes: • Rice, beans, flour and oil (wholesale): $290 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $110 • Baby formula and diapers: $50 • Refrigeration and electricity: $50 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Mercy
